INTAKE WATER
COOLING WATER
PROCESS WATER
SEA WATER WATER
Based on different water qualities, it should be filtered and/or treated to process needs. Continuous and stable supply of quality water is vital for industrial facilities while ensuring process flow and minimum downtime.
Intake water is used by industrial facilities from different sources such as surface water, groundwater, municipal water and others.
Different Types of Intake Water Sources and Their Characteristics
Here are the primary types of industrial intake water sources:
Surface Water: Surface water refers to water that is open to the atmosphere, including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, etc.
Advantages:
- Generally abundant, especially in regions near large water bodies.
- Easier access compared to groundwater.
- Less expensive than other sources
Challenges:
- High variability in quality due to seasonal changes and pollution.
- Requires extensive treatment to remove contaminants like sediments, organic matter, and microorganisms.
Groundwater: Groundwater is water located beneath the earth’s surface, often accessed through wells or boreholes.
Advantages:
- Typically has fewer contaminants compared to surface water.
- Less prone to seasonal variations.
Challenges:
- Over-extraction can lead to depletion of water tables and land subsidence.
- Requires monitoring for pollutants like heavy metals, iron, manganese, arsenic and chemicals, which can seep from industrial or agricultural activities.
Municipal Water Supply: Water provided by local government or utilities, typically treated to meet drinking water standards.
Advantages:
- Consistent and reliable quality.
- Minimal on-site treatment required.
Challenges:
- Higher cost compared to surface or groundwater.
- Limited availability for high-volume industrial use.
- Not suitable for all industrial uses due to their chlorine content.
With our advanced technological solutions, we can offer the best intake water filtration to handle any water source and process requirement. Our filters are cost-effective, water and energy efficient, robust, require minimal maintenance, easy to install with a small footprint, require minimal to no use of chemicals and with our smart control embedded solution, can integrate easily. Our complete range of filtration solutions can help industrial facilities successfully cope with their challenges.
FAQs
How can the quality of intake water be determined?
The quality of intake water is critical for industrial processes, and determining it involves a combination of sampling, laboratory testing, and continuous monitoring.
What environmental benefits are associated with Amiad’s intake water filtration systems?
Intake water filtration systems offer several environmental benefits, including reduced pollution, ecosystem conservation, efficient energy and water use and minimized need for chemical use.
Are chemicals used in Amiads’s filtration process?
Amiad’s technologies are based on mechanical filtration (screen, disc, microfiber and media) and thus the use of chemicals in the filtration process is minimal.
Screen Technologies
Fast and efficient self-cleaning technology with continuous flow of filtered water.
Suction-scanning screen technology combines focused flush with automation to provide 100% cleaning of the screen area. The success of this technology has established Amiad as a global leader in providing water filtration solutions. The sophisticated screen is the optimal combination of material strength, filtration efficiency and cleanability, allowing the accumulating filter cake to be rapidly and totally removed. Amiad’s suction-scanning technology enables optimal cleaning with recovery rates of up to 99%.
Disc Technologies
All polymeric depth filtration with high dirt holding capacity, effective cleaning and consistent filtration results.
Spin Klin disc technology uses thin, color-coded polymeric discs that are diagonally grooved on both sides to a specific micron size.
A series of these discs are stacked and compressed on a specially designed spine, with the top groove in the opposite to the groove below. This creates a filtration element with a significant series of channels, effectively trapping the solids. The disc stack is enclosed in corrosion and pressure resistant housing.
The Spin Klin disc filtration system is designed for long-term and simple operation.
