Technical knowledge and expertise
From our engineers

We have compiled explanations and definitions of the most important terms in water treatment. In our Waterguide, we have divided these explanations into categories; you can then use these to narrow down topics. Or simply use the technical term search and you will find what you are looking for. If you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Activated carbon Filtrasorb 300

The activated carbon Filtrasorb 300 is a highly effective granulate activated carbon, which is used in water treatment to remove taste-producing and odorous substances, as well as dissolved organic compounds.

Anthracite N

Anthracite N is one of the filter materials that is found in nature. It is extracted from the sea at a depth of around 1500 m and then cleaned, crushed and sieved to removed unwanted foreign particles.

Birm

This filter medium is an aluminium silicate that is coated with manganese dioxide. No chemicals are used for regeneration and water is sufficient for backwashing.

Filox R

Filox R is a filter medium of which 75 – 85% consists of manganese dioxide. In many cases, the filter medium can be used without additional oxidation. This depends, however, on the oxygen present.

Water treatment describes the process of removing contaminants and pollutants from water to make it safe and/or pure for industrial or medical applications. Water treatment can involve a combination of different physical, chemical and biological processes such as filtration, sedimentation, disinfection, reverse osmosis and activated carbon adsorption. The goal is to produce water of a certain quality necessary for subsequent processes.
Water treatment is important in industry for various reasons. For example for:

  1. Process water: In many industries, water is used as a raw material in various production processes. Here it is important that the water used meets certain quality requirements and is free of contamination.

  2. Or cooling water: Many industrial plants need cooling water to regulate the temperatures in machines and equipment. The cooling water must be free of impurities to ensure the proper functioning of the equipment. Water treatment ensures that the cooling water has the required quality.

In medicine, water purification can be used in several ways. For example, in the production process of medicines and medical devices, pure water is often needed to ensure that the products are free of contaminants.

The water treatment also plays an important role in dialysis treatment, in which the blood of patients with kidney failure is purified. Thereby, the water must be extremely pure in order to prevent impurities from entering the patient's body. In addition, water treatment is also important in the process of cleaning and disinfecting medical equipment and instruments to ensure that they are free of germs and other harmful contaminants.

Water treatment in medicine is an important process that helps to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical products and procedures. The water treatment units have special features of their own: They have an almost dead-zone free design with a high stainless steel content.
