Water Treatment

Wastewater

Many food and industrial processes are water intensive and the wastewater from these processes will contain contaminants such as chemicals and biological materials.  Municipal water treatment facilities and food processing plants use carbon dioxide to treat wastewater by reducing the pH levels in alkaline water. There are several CO₂ water treatment systems, such as pressurized solution feed (PSF), direct CO₂ gas injection and submerged combustion system (SCS). In addition, high purity oxygen is used for aerobic digestion, oxygen-enhanced aeration, odor control, and in the production of ozone.

Swimming Pools

While chlorine is commonly used to disinfect swimming pools, it can create higher pH levels in pool water and cause discomfort to swimmers and scaling to pool equipment. Using a carbon dioxide gas flow system helps to restore the pH levels in pool water and decreases the need to use harsh chemicals.

Well Water

Residential well water users can improve their well water taste and well performance using carbon dioxide. These CO₂ gas systems are designed for both the preventative maintenance and rehab of residential water wells.

Aquaculture

Fish farmers can increase their fish density and productivity by using CryoCarb™ oxygen to oxygenate the water. Aquaculture operations using oxygen have healthier ponds and an accelerated growing cycle.

Milwaukee is “Capital of Water”

We are fortunate to be located in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, where there is an abundance of freshwater lakes and rivers, and of course, the fresh coast of Lake Michigan.

According to Forbes Magazine, Milwaukee is considered the “capital of water” and home to the Global Water Center, which houses water researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs from small to large water technology companies and universities. Wisconsin has over 45 water tech organizations including the Water Council, based at the Global Water Center. Let’s work together to accelerate the responsible use and future of water.
