Degasification of Water: Back to the Basics

Posted by Anthony DeLoach, President on Jul 24, 2018 9:13:00 AM

The water treatment industry has developed and evolved over the years to continue to find new ways to produce degassed water,

Removing Hydrogen Sulfide In Water (H2S H2O)

Posted by Anthony DeLoach, President on Apr 30, 2018 12:00:00 AM

Do you need to remove or increase your reverse osmosis system's hydrogen sulfide removal efficiency?

The industrial water treatment market has many forms of water treatment processes. Most of us would agree that maintaining high water standards and quality requires using multiple treatment systems to achieve results.  Let’s face it, we do not win or get a “that a boy” when we design and build the best reverse osmosis system.

When we turn the brand-new water system on, the water has a "rotten egg odor." Yes, that is an embarrassing moment! 

The problem is we typically design around what we can see or read.  When was the last time you reviewed a water sample that provided details of how much-dissolved gas was in the water?  Most likely never.  A typical water treatment system may deploy reverse osmosis as the primary treatment method, and why true RO will remove particles that have size and weight (ions and molecules) typically defined as a certain size (micron), but RO does nothing to remove the dissolved gases that are already entrained within the water naturally or were created by adjusting the pH.

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.

Utilizing Decarbonation to Lower CO2 Levels & Raise pH

CO2 & pH In municipal and industrial water processes

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in municipal and Industrial water can create problems in the water treatment process, increase operational costs of the treatment plant, and cause excessive corrosion to equipment and ancillary equipment.

In nature, one of the most natural common causes that create low pH or acidity in water is an element known as “Carbon Dioxide” (CO2).  The process of how carbon dioxide enters the water in the first place is a topic worth exploring.  Nature creates one of the most common causes of CO2 found in the water naturally. When the water reaches an equilibrium with our atmosphere followed by the biological degradation that is aided by the photosynthesis of organic carbon (CH2O) then carbon dioxide begins to form. Organic carbon is dissolved in water and it forms “Carbonic Acid”

(H2CO3).  CO2 (g) + H2(l) = H2CO3 (aq). 

The process to form the carbonic acid is slow and only a small portion remains as an acid because proton losses occur during the process.

H2CO3 (aq) « H+ (aq) + HCO3- (aq)

CO3- (aq) « H+ (aq) + CO32- (aq)
