Commercial Carbon Filtration & Water Softening Systems
EnviroH2O provides commercial carbon filtration and water softening systems for healthcare, government, industrial, and manufacturing facilities throughout DFW and North Texas, reducing chlorine, chloramine, taste, odor, and organic compounds while protecting membranes and resin downstream.
What Carbon Filtration & Water Softening Does
Activated carbon works by adsorption. Its very large internal surface area captures chlorine, chloramine, organic compounds, and many taste- and odor-causing substances as water passes through the bed or cartridge.
Water softening uses ion exchange to remove hardness minerals. Primarily calcium and magnesium replacing them with sodium or potassium. When the resin is exhausted, the system regenerates using a brine solution and returns to service.
Hardness is a significant issue across North Texas. When hard water is heated or evaporated, hardness precipitates as scale on heat transfer surfaces, inside boilers and sterilizers, and within process equipment, reducing efficiency and eventually causing failures.
APPLICATIONS
• Boiler and steam generator
• Sterilizer and washer feed water
• Cooling tower makeup
• Taste and oder reduction
• RO membrane protection
• Sterile processing pretreatment
— PROBLEMS SOLVED
What this addresses
Chlorine and chloramine
Municipal disinfectant residual protects the distribution system but damages RO membranes and ion exchange resin.
Organic fouling
Dissolved organics contribute to membrane fouling and biological growth in downstream equipment.
Sterilizer and steam generator damage
Hardness carried into steam equipment builds deposits that lead to maintenance and downtime.
Shortened equipment life
Valves, seals, and heating elements fail earlier in hard water conditions.
— HOW IT WORKS
From incoming water to point of use
01
Test the hardness
Measure incoming hardness, iron, and other constituents that affect resin performance.
02
Size the system
Match resin volume and configuration to hardness, peak flow, and daily volume.
03
Install and integrate
Carbon is placed ahead of softening, RO, or DI depending on the configuration of the train.
04
Maintain
Salt supply, brine system checks, valve service, and periodic hardness testing keep the system on target.
— BENEFITS
What you get
Improved water character
Reduced taste, odor, and organic content across the facility.
Scale control
Protecting heat transfer surfaces preserves efficiency and equipment life.
Membrane and resin protection
Removing oxidants upstream is far less expensive than replacing damaged membranes and resin.
— INDUSTRIES SERVED
Where this is used
— SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Support that continues after install
EnviroH2O services control valves, brine systems, and resin beds; verifies hardness at the outlet; and repairs or replaces softening equipment that is no longer keeping up with demand.
If your facility is seeing hardness breakthrough, high salt consumption, or regeneration problems, we can evaluate the system and its sizing.
