Meeting Water Standards with NSF/ANSI 61, AI, and Advanced Processes

Posted by Anthony DeLoach, President on Jul 18, 2023 12:33:30 PM

In modern industrial water treatment, advancements in technology and processes have revolutionized the way contaminants are removed from water.

This blog explores the integration of NSF/ANSI 61 certified systems, artificial intelligence in water treatment, and cutting-edge processes such as decarbonation and degasification. We'll also discuss the key differences between forced draft and induced draft degasification towers, helping you make informed decisions while designing your Industrial Water Treatment System.

  1. NSF/ANSI 61-Certified Water Treatment Systems: To ensure the safety and quality of water treatment equipment, NSF/ANSI 61 certification has become a crucial standard. This certification verifies that materials and components used in water treatment systems comply with health and safety requirements. When selecting a water treatment solution, opting for NSF/ANSI 61 certified systems guarantees peace of mind and adherence to the highest industry standards.

  2. Harnessing Artificial Intelligence in Water Treatment: Artificial intelligence (AI) has penetrated various industries, and water treatment is no exception. Integrating AI into water treatment processes allows for more efficient and optimized operations. AI-driven systems can monitor water quality in real-time, predict system failures, optimize chemical dosing, and reduce energy consumption. By leveraging AI technologies, water treatment facilities can enhance their overall performance and streamline resource utilization.

  3. Decarbonation and Degasification Systems: Decarbonation and degasification are essential processes in industrial water treatment, particularly in pH levels in water and the ability to control removing the contaminants. These processes target the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other dissolved gases from water to improve its quality. Two key systems used for this purpose are the decarbonator and aeration system.

Unraveling the Impact of Forever Chemicals in Water

Posted by Anthony DeLoach, President on Feb 22, 2022 1:02:58 PM

The EPA and other world health organizations have sounded the alarm on the dangers and health impacts of being exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs & PFOAs) also known as the forever chemicals.

In response, federal and state regulators are adopting new water quality guidelines and laws to address these contaminants in our drinking water systems and groundwater pollution. It's a pervasive issue, as PFASs can be found in various types and over 4,700 different variations, each with at least three polyfluorinated carbon atoms.

With more than 10,000 types of PFASs introduced into products, it's no wonder that the quality of drinking water in the USA and other countries has been compromised. But what exactly are PFASs? These are fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom. While they do not contain atoms like hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, any chemical with a perfluorinated (CF3) or perfluorinated (CF2) component falls under the PFAS category. However, there are a few exceptions.

PFASs can be further classified into subgroups such as surfactants, perfluorosulfonic acids, perfluorooctane sulfonic acids, perfluorocarboxylic acids, and perfluorooctanoic acids (commonly referred to as PFOSs and PFOAs). These persistent organic pollutants, also known as "forever chemicals," pose a significant challenge due to their resistance to environmental degradation. As a result, they are found in humans, animals, and water supplies across the USA.

How Important Are NSF/ANSI 61 Standards

Posted by Anthony DeLoach, President on Jul 26, 2017 2:15:53 PM

Following NSF/ANSI 61 regulations when designing and selecting the materials for the manufacturing of water treatment equipment.

It is important to understand what regulatory standards or constructions standard may be required to be compliant. This includes the designing and fabrication of systems such as reverse osmosis utilizing membrane technology, decarbonation of Carbon Dioxide, degasification of Hydrogen Sulfide, and water filtration for the removal of micron particles from potable and nonpotable water processes.

One requirement that engineers and manufacturers often encounter is called NSF /ANSI 61. NSF is an international and nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that is focused and dedicated to public health and safety as it relates to potable water systems and their components. NSF/ANSI 61 developed and established minimum requirements for the control of potential adverse human health effects from products and their components that contact with drinking water.

DeLoach Industries Inc. manufactures multiple types of water treatment equipment and adheres to strict compliance with NSF/ANSI 61 standards with all of their manufacturing procedures and practices. This strict adherence assures owners that water treatment equipment like decarbonation and degasification towers, reverse osmosis, and ion exchange that the equipment and material are all in full compliance with the NSF/ANSI 61 requirements.
