Glass Manufacturing

Puretech Water Systems (UK) Ltd offers a wide range of reverse osmosis and water softening plants to the glass manufacturing industry.

Our clients within the glass manufacturing industry require a good grade of reverse osmosis water for their production processes. Take the case of its usage in double glazing to illustrate the point in question.

The Solution

Without a doubt, pure water is essential for manufacturing sealed units (for instance double glazing). This is owing to the fact that the glasses internal surfaces must be devoid of staining or scaling.

Under those circumstances, surfaces must be crystal clear before being sealed to meet quality assurance standards. On the negative side, any product does not meet the required standard, it is scrapped due to the fault being irreversible.

To that end, utilising purified water in the production process in glass manufacturing ensures that wastage is minimised. Furthermore, it results in a superior final product.

Conclusion

In essence, we maintain numerous reverse osmosis systems within the glass manufacturing industry. That is to say that the optimisation and efficiency of these production facilities are integral to the glass manufacturing business.

In conclusion, many of our clients invest in our water purification solutions. We design, manufacture, install and maintain many reverse osmosis and water softening systems for the glass manufacturing industry.

A water softener is used to remove hardness from the incoming towns mains water supply.

For instance, this is achieved by removing the calcium and magnesium ions. These ions would otherwise cause scaling within a water system. Scaling can present itself in many ways.

Below is a list of the most common effects of scaling;

• Water heaters scaling impedes on their ability to heat water efficiently.
• Scaling on glassware such as shower screens and glasses is unhygienic and cosmetically unappealing.
• The scaling on tap outlets and scale build up within water holding tanks can have detrimental effects on systems.

Water softeners remove the calcium and magnesium ions and traps them on its filter surface which acts as a magnet.

Therefore, we exchange these calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions which, in turn, creates softened water. Summing up, this results in water ready for consumption.

Reverse Osmosis is a high-pressure water process which forces water to be treated through a semi permeable reverse osmosis membrane. So, the membrane has two outlet channels. One being the permeate water (Purified) which passes the heavily filtered water onto the point of use application. This purified water typically has around 98% of the incoming contaminants removed, such as dissolved salts, bacteria, organics and pyrogens.

On the other hand, the other outlet is where the rejected water (Concentrate) is sent directly to drain.

In some cases, this concentrate water can be re-circulated back to the front of the reverse osmosis plant and re-processed. In conclusion, this particular process can significantly reduce water wastage.
