More quality and efficiency with Arionex technologies

Water is used in technological processes, including steam, heat and power production in chemical industry. Water quality affects lifetime and performance of equipment used in technological processes, as well as quality of the products. Arionex offers complete solutions that ensure automated and controlled water treatment achieving necessary parameters and enabling efficient production.

Technology

The water is used as diluent, solvent or reaction medium for various technological processes. The quality of water used – demineralized water.

Products and technologies used:

  • Mechanical filtration – Arionex MF
  • Ultrafiltration – Arionex UF
  • Reverse osmosis – Arionex RO
  • Electric deionization for intense water demineralization – Arionex EDI
  • Demineralization – Arionex IX
  • Iron and manganese elimination equipment – Arionex F
  • Water quality monitoring system – Arionex A

Steam generation

Water treated to the manufacturers’ requirements is needed to ensure efficient steam generation and steam qualitative parameters. Arionex designs custom solutions depending on the raw water quality, equipment used, environmental and technological requirements. This enables to achieve the required quality parameters at an optimal cost. Fresh and salty surface and deep water may be used in water treatment.

Products and technologies used:

  • Mechanical filtration – Arionex MF
  • Ultrafiltration – Arionex UF
  • Reverse osmosis – Arionex RO
  • Electric deionization for intense water demineralization – Arionex EDI
  • Demineralization – Arionex IX
  • Water purification and filtration – Arionex F
  • Iron and manganese elimination equipment – Arionex F
  • Water quality monitoring system – Arionex A

Water treatment for cooling systems

Properly treated water nearly eliminates the corrosion of equipment and pipelines operated by coolers, scale sedimentation onto the heated surfaces and biofilm growth. Arionex solutions ensure maximum service life of equipment, and minimise operational and maintenance costs.

Products and technologies used:

  • Self-rinsing filter system – Arionex F
  • Water treatment with reagents system – Arionex DS
  • Water quality monitoring system – Arionex A

Condensate treatment

Steam condensate used in other technological processes (e.g. heating of equipment or medium) may be contaminated with oil products and various salts. The condensate must be treated to the required technical parameters before it can be returned to the production cycle.

Products and technologies used:

  • Elimination of oil products – Arionex F
  • Demineralization by ion exchange – Arionex IX MIXCAT or Arionex IX MULTREX
  • Water quality monitoring system – Arionex A

Advantages of Arionex solutions

Water qualitative parameters:

  • Arionex MIXCAT design allows achievement of lower than 0.1 (µS/cm water conductivity while the conventional systems allow achievement of up to 0.2 µS/cm conductivity
  • Arionex IX MULTREX allows to achieve water conductivity of less than 0.07 µS/cm

Reliability:

  • Only materials and components of internationally recognized manufacturers are used
  • Arionex solutions are designed allowing higher engineering margin
  • Automated control minimizes the risk of human mistake

Lower operational costs:

  • • Automated control requires less human resources
  • • Optimally customized solutions provide lower equipment downtime, maximize service life and ensure minimal energy loss
  • • Correct solution adaptation and automatic dosing reduce costs for reagents

Compact design of equipment:

  • Compact design of equipment requires less room

Automated process control:

  • • Arionex A process control integrates PLC, SCADA and remote equipment control solutions. Arionex A communicates to other equipment using standardized ETHERNET, PROFIBUS, MODBUS protocols and allows equipment control via Wi-Fi connection and mobile equipment
