Water

Depending on geographical location, required volumes and metrological norms, rainwater is free. Perfect!

Recycling water, whether grey water, saline or industrial water, means we're saving water and enhancing plant productivity.

Managing and controlling water wastage through active leak management assures process integrity and optimum transmission.

Potable water, also known as drinking water, usually comes from surface and ground sources and is treated to levels that meet regional, state and federal standards for consumption. Water from natural sources is treated for microorganisms, bacteria, toxic chemicals, viruses and fecal matter. 

VAREO’s Wastewater Storage Tanks are engineered to be fit for purpose in accordance with the storage and process requirements of a specified application.  Our Industrial Wastewater Tanks are designed to effectively contain and tolerate assorted acids and extreme bases. They are designed to support every stage of water treatment.

Our cooling tower water treatment systems typically include an arrangement of technologies that remove damaging impurities from your cooling tower feed water, circulation water, and/or blowdown. Our industrial applications usually require some type of cooling tower water treatment system to ensure an efficient process and long equipment operational life. 

Simply put, a pump station is used to lift or move water when no gravity flow can be achieved. Float switches monitor the high and low levels of water in the tank and depending upon the application flow rate and temperature metering. As water enters the tank and fills up, the float switch activates the pump to move the water to its desired location. There are different types of pump stations depending on the application and water it is receiving.

Clarification is an essential step in a water or wastewater treatment process to remove suspended solids through gravity settling, providing a clarified liquid effluent. Vareo adopts a variety of methodologies depending on the application and capacity. A secondary function of a clarifier is the removal of floating matter (scum), which has accumulated on the water surface.

After water has been filtered, we may add one or more chemical disinfectants (such as chlorine, chloramine, or chlorine dioxide) to kill any remaining parasites, bacteria, or viruses. This is disinfection. Chlorination, ozone, ultraviolet light, and chloramines are primary methods for disinfection. However, potassium permanganate, photocatalytic disinfection, nanofiltration, and chlorine dioxide can also be used.

Deionization water treatment systems use ion exchange processes to remove total dissolved solids and ionized minerals from water supplies. Water deionization replaces positive and negative charged particles, or ions, with hydrogen and hydroxyl, meaning the newly exchanged particles will readily form pure water.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that removes contaminants from water by using pressure to force water molecules through a semipermeable membrane. During this process, the contaminants are filtered out and flushed away, leaving clean, delicious drinking water.

During filtration, the clear water passes through filters that have different pore sizes and are made of different materials (such as sand, gravel, and charcoal). These filters remove dissolved particles and germs, such as dust, chemicals, parasites, bacteria, and viruses.

Degasification removes dissolved gases from liquids. It plays an essential role in applications where the presence of gases in a liquid would be detrimental, such as mobile phases for HPLC and numerous organic reactions. By removing oxygen avoids exposing oxygen-sensitive compounds to its effects, and reduces oxidation problems. Oxygen in the presence of other dissolved compounds, such as ammonia, can lead to other types of corrosion that affect piping and components.

Screening is a critical component of wastewater treatment plants. Wastewater contains large solids and grit that can interfere with treatment processes or cause undue mechanical wear and increased maintenance, making the entire system less efficient. To minimize potential problems, Screening, as the first-stage operation used at wastewater treatment plants, removes problematic constituents from the influent wastewater and prevents expensive damage and clogging of downstream equipment, piping, and appurtenances.

Water purification for consumption purposes consists in the removal of different contaminants as chemicals (i.e., pollutants, toxic metals), biological contaminants (algae, bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses), suspended solids, and gases. There are several methods used in the water purification process, which include: (1) physical processes, such as filtration, sedimentation, or distillation; (2) biological processes, such as sand filters, active carbon; (3) chemical processes, such as flocculation, chlorination, and the use of ultraviolet light.
