RO problems Deterioration is obvious

Problems are often not as obvious as they seem. Adequate in-depth study, testing, and analysis is the only way to assure that all systems will perform in accordance with original expectations.

Consulting & Evaluation Services are available on per project or ongoing bases, to end-user or to engineering consultants already on the project, and to original equipment manufacturers.

Trouble Shooting, performance studies, and equipment rehabilitation proposals, provide owners, plant managers and engineers, with the necessary data to make informed decisions that meet budget, water quality and schedule concerns.

AWTS Technical Service can include:

  • Equipment specification and documentation
  • Design or Re-design recommendations
  • Process flow diagrams, P&I drawings
  • Plant and equipment layout
  • Operation and maintenance cost calculations
  • RFQ and bid analysis
  • Supervision of installation and startup
  • Maintenance and O&M crew training

AWTS System Upgrade utilizing the latest technologies and component re-design have been applied to most every type of water treatment and in most every industry application, including:

  • Boiler or cooling tower makeup for power plants, petrochemical, pulp & paper, and other heavy industry
  • UPW systems for electronics parts manufacturing
  • Recycling and Reuse of Wastewater Streams from industrial and municipal effluents
  • And many other types of systems

Conversions and Retrofit are often a cost effective solution to increasing capacity as well as water quality without replacing the whole system. Some proven considerations are:

  • Converting single stage RO to double stage RO for improvement of EDI performance
  • Adding MF/UF systems for SDI turbidity and organics control
  • Media filter, Ion exchange softener, demineralizer, and degasifier upgrades.

All types of Separation Technologies using clarification, filtration, membrane, and ion exchange demineralization are processes that have been improved for AWTS customers.

AWTS training for plant operation teams provide the hands-on, as well a theoretical base from which to maintain equipment capacities and water quality specs and improve all aspects of handling changeover, regular and most important, preventative maintenance.

AWTS Product Technologies. Besides the consulting services available, special componenets and products have been developed exclusively by AWTS from many years of field experience and observing where and why critical components fail.
