Drinking Water

Clear water is not automatically safe water. Potability decisions require representative testing, appropriate treatment and verification.

Understanding the application

Water Conditions Affect the Complete Operation

Puroxi does not begin with a product. We begin by understanding where the water comes from, how it moves through the site, what it contacts, what has already been tried and what the operation needs the water to do.

01

Microbial and chemical contaminants

This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.

02

Iron, manganese, sulphur, colour and turbidity

This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.

03

Hardness, scale and distribution-system condition

This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.

04

Source changes and inadequate treatment barriers

This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.

How Puroxi approaches the water

A Site-Specific Treatment Pathway

01

Representative accredited laboratory testing

Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.

02

Multiple treatment barriers selected by contaminant

Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.

03

Controlled oxidation, filtration and disinfection

Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.

04

Post-treatment verification before potability claims

Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.

Information required

What Puroxi Needs Before Recommending Equipment

Good design depends on accurate site information. Reports, photographs, drawings and operating history help prevent assumptions.

  1. Source type and complete laboratory report
  2. Required standard and jurisdiction
  3. Flow, storage, plumbing and peak demand
  4. Existing treatment and maintenance history
Water testing

Relevant parameters may include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, nutrients, organics, metals, microbial information and algae identification, together with the process-specific information required for this industry.

Monitoring and verification

Measure the Water and the Operating Result

01

Laboratory confirmation after treatment

Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.

02

Disinfectant or process residual where applicable

Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.

03

Filter and equipment performance

Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.

04

Documented service and sampling schedule

Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.

The Puroxi process

Test. Design. Treat. Verify.

  1. Characterize the source and the operating problem.
  2. Define the objective, limitations and applicable requirements.
  3. Design the hydraulic, gas, treatment and monitoring arrangement.
  4. Commission, document, evaluate and refine the programme.
