Drinking Water Treatment – Scale and Corrosion
Scale and corrosion deposits are made up of solids and sediments that collect on or in the distribution system piping and storage reservoirs. The sediments consist of corrosion by-products and precipitated solids (such as manganese oxides, aluminum hydroxide, and calcium carbonate), as well as solids that carry over from water treatment plants.

Scale and corrosion deposits serve as sites for adsorption or co-precipitation and mineral growth for certain contaminants, such as arsenic, radium, and vanadium. So any changes in water chemistry or any physical disturbances to distribution system materials can result in the re-release of the contaminants into our water supply, sometimes in elevated amounts. When this happens, dangerous contaminant levels can end up at our taps.

Siemens Water Technologies offers a number of products that help municipal water plants control scale and corrosion:

  • Pumps
  • Filters
  • Feeders and Chenmical Addition Systems
  • And more

Siemens also provides pilot treatment systems and analytical testing to document the efficacy of treatment prior to installation. We also provide parts and service on all of our equipment, as well as equipment which may have been provided by other manufacturers.
