What is water treatment?
Industrial and commercial nonpotable water systems add heat to, or remove heat from, industrial processes and commercial data centers, generate electric power, and condition the air in commercial buildings and hospitals.
The objective is to transfer heat using water as the medium, conserve energy, and discharge waste heat and water responsibly — while controlling scale, corrosion and microbiological fouling. Successful water treatment programs help extend equipment life, maximize energy efficiency and reduce downtime.
