Plant personnel were aware that even small levels of hardness and other contaminants could be detrimental to the boiler feed water system that was being installed in their Midwestern facility. USFilter provided a hot process water softener and a deaerator to protect the boiler feed water system from hardness and other contaminants, including calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, turbidity, silica, oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Retrofitted CONTRAFAST® Clarifier and Mobile RO System Kept Automotive Plant Going

An automotive plant had a water treatment system that required further treatment of water supplied by the local municipal water treatment plant. The raw hardness of the incoming water was 302 mg/L as CaCO3 but the plant required softened water. The system the plant had been using since the early 1960s had reached the end of its useful life.
