United Industries Group, Inc. (UIG) is the industry leader in water treatment systems, whether for potable water, desalination, or waste water applications.

WATER TREATMENT:


There are several means of treating water for public and industrial use.  Among those are Reverse Osmosis (R/O), Ultraviolet (UV) exposure and others.  UIG will design and supply the right  water treatment system for your needs, ensuring that the resulting water is clean, pure and ready for immediate use in your applications.

Reverse Osmosis:
Reverse Osmosis (R/O) is often the preferred method of choice for the desalination of brines and sea water.  The R/O process involves passing water at pressure past and partially through a specially designed membrane that removes salt and other contaminants. 

R/O operations can be rather expensive for normal seawater desalination applications, however, the same technology may be applied more economically to the removal of lesser impurities from water from other sources. 

Even regular sources of tap water may contain contaminants (including lead, arsenic, mercury, diluted pesticides and others) that must be removed.  Water from rivers and lakes may contain these impurities, bacteria and other foreign matter that must be removed before the water is safe to drink.

Membranes similar to those used in R/O desalination are used at somewhat relaxed operating conditions to offer economical operations for potable water and specialized water treatment uses.

R/O units range from small 5 gallons per day (~800 cc/hour) portable units to larger operations up to thousands of gallons per hour.

Your Source Water:


When you have identified your source water, it will be necessary to obtain a water analysis, identifying the impurities and their concentrations.

From that data, a suitable water treating system may be identified and a decision whether or not R/O is the best solution  for your needs.

Depending on the degree and types of contamination present, the recommended process may simply require multimedia filters with or without the use of and R/O system. 

Multimedia filters are designed to remove specific impurities by a series of interconnected filters.  These filters may also remove odors and tastes cause by dissolved and suspended impurities in the water.

Many of these units may be skid-mounted and equipped with the pumps, valves and controls to make them immediately operational.

If R/O clean-up is determined to be necessary, it would be installed after the filter system.

UV (Ultraviolet) Systems:


UV (Ultraviolet) light systems use high energy ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and other organism that may be present in water.  A major advantage of UV systems is that NO chemicals are needed to kill such microbes.  UV systems usually very cost effective and simple to install.

It should be noted that UV will not remove dissolved chemicals such as arsenic, lead, etc., nor will it eliminate suspended solids.
