For industrial water treatment, the treatment requirements are never one-size-fits-all. The design of the treatment steps and the technologies involved depend largely on the type of raw water available, the desired fit-for-purpose outcome, and the specific challenges posed by each application – all of which can vary greatly.

Ensuring efficient and reliable chemical dosing is more than just technology or the types of chemicals needed for dosing at each stage. It requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account multiple aspects, such as installation possibilities, plant layout, chemical logistics, system integration, and most importantly the safety of operation personnel. 

The effects on the environment and equipment lifespan are crucial considerations too. 

Why do we need tailored, specific solutions 

Standard products and solutions may get the job done but they often come with compromises, leaving a gap between your exact requirements and achieving optimal results. Selecting the right solutions and tailoring them to your specific needs is key. Such solutions provide greater control, enhanced safety, and optimised performance, ensuring that each aspect of chemical dosing is perfectly suited to the application. 

When designing a chemical dosing system, considerations include: 

Safety and compliance – Are your chemicals stored in a separate room due to company safety policies?

  • Reliability – Does your process require a duty-standby setup for uninterrupted operation?
  • Scalability – Do you anticipate potential capacity expansion in the future?
  • Seamless integration – Do you need physical or digital connectivity with existing infrastructure?

Navigating these aspects requires an experienced partner who understands your industry’s unique demands and can deliver tailored solutions that fit seamlessly into your operations.

Improving cooling tower efficiency

An industrial facility in Singapore faced recurring biofilm issues in its cooling tower system due to ineffective UV disinfection. To address this, Grundfos implemented a tailored chlorine dioxide dosing solution combined with digital dosing pumps for anti-scalants and pH correction. This tailored solution was based on a thorough understanding of inefficiencies in the system. It led to precision in chemical use, reduced maintenance, and improved system reliability, ultimately minimising downtime and ensuring compliance.

Achieving 90% process water reuse

Carlsberg brewery in Denmark set an ambitious goal of reducing water consumption by 50% by 2030. Grundfos worked closely with them to design a tailored chemical dosing and pumping system. The solution included complete dosing cabinets with digital dosing pumps, enabling precise chemical application and real-time monitoring. This enabled Carlsberg to achieve 90% process water reuse, saving 560 million litres in a year.
