Water Treatment


Pan-India Footprint

With less than 20% of our planet's water available as freshwater, it is humanity's most scarce and crucial resource. Clean drinking water has been recognized as a fundamental right guaranteed to every human, while also serving as a significant industrial input. Water treatment and water purification chemicals are thus vital factors underlying the growth of an industry.

At Surya Corporation, we provide specialty chemicals for water treatment and water purification in various categories, including potable water, industrial water, and wastewater. We also possess the expertise to assess chemical water treatment options based on the mechanical setup: boilers, cooling towers, reverse osmosis systems, desalination, and chiller systems. Our specialists can also evaluate the metallurgy of the system and its operational limits to determine the desired treatment solutions.

It exhibits superiority for the lowest viscosities in high solids mineral slurries, even under the most extreme conditions (such as under heat conditions).

  ACUMER 5000 polymer:


Cooling water reuse is frequently limited by a ceiling on the amount of tolerable silica in the recirculation water. Normally, if silica levels exceed about 180 ppm SiO2, severe scaling can occur on heat transfer surfaces. Moreover, the scale that forms is frequently difficult or impossible to remove by conventional means. ACUMER 5000 silica control polymer has now raised that ceiling to at least 300 ppm SiO2, proven by exacting pilot studies and field trials, allowing for greater water reuse than ever before. ACUMER 5000 polymer prevents silica-based scale formation by dispersing colloidal silica and by preventing magnesium silicate scale formation at the heat transfer surfaces.

Amines

  Monoethanolamine (MEA):


DOW Monoethanolamine (MEA) offers a broad spectrum of application opportunities, primarily in detergents, personal care products, textile finishing and wood treating. Other applications include use as “down hole” in oil well chemicals and in metalworking to prevent corrosion, and as catalysts that promote stability during the reaction process in the manufacture of flexible and rigid urethane foams. Because MEA combines the properties of amines and alcohols, MEA exhibits the unique capability of undergoing reactions common to both groups. As an amine, MEA is mildly alkaline and react with acids to form salts or soaps. As an alcohol, MEA is hygroscopic and can be esterified.

Detergents

  • MEA imparts a reserve alkalinity to the laundry bath, which is essential to efficient
  • Cleaning
  • MEA is an effective oil and anti-redeposition agent.

Personal Care

  • Fatty acids neutralized with MEA are used as emulsifiers for oil-in water emulsions such as gel-type industrial hand cleaners, aerosol shave creams, and hand and body lotions.

Textile Finishing

  • MEA is used as reaction intermediates for the preparation of durable press fabric finishes and softeners.
  • When reacted to form amine soaps, useful as scouring agents for wool and silk because of its low alkalinity.
  • Because it is hygroscopic, MEA is used in the preparation of vat printing pastes.

Wood Treating
