We all
eat in restaurants, get our vehicles washed, use laundries, see doctors in
medical clinics or hospitals, attend or have children in schools, and patronize
health and beauty spas and salons. Most of these facilities need water
treatment.
While dealing with water management, one often finds that the source and the point of
application are miles apart. Therefore, transporting water from one location to
another plays a critical role in any industry. Water in its various forms (like
raw water, treated water, sea water, wastewater, polluted water and sludge),
along with various chemicals (like acid, alkali, lime, alum, polyelectrolyte,
chlorine solution and salt solution) needs to be handled carefully while transportation.
Rapid
industrialization, unplanned resource utilization and poor environment
management have affected environmental resources resulting in deterioration of
the quality of water. With the ever increasing TDS content in raw water and
treated effluent, Reverse Osmosis (RO) has been emerged as most economical
technology not only for the desalination of water containing salts, but also
for eliminating heavy metals, pesticides etc.
