Water Treatment and Utilities

What we do

Within the sphere of water treatment there are numerous organic and inorganic contaminants Carolina PEC excels in eliminating. Scaling and rust present a persistent challenge to the effectiveness of equipment and parts used in most treatment processes. From heat exchangers to spargers, built up contaminants often pose a significant hindrance to operations. With our array of technologies and treatments Carolina PEC can not only eliminate these buildups, but also reduce the likelihood of future buildups taking root.

Through our tenure with the industry, we have been able to assist not only with equipment directly involved in treatment of the water, but also auxiliary systems such air scrubbers for removal of biosolid contaminants. For these systems, components such as wire mesh scrubbers and venturi pads become less effective as contaminant accumulates. Through our cleaning processes we can eliminate these contaminants to return the pads to a like new state.

To ensure the best possible outcome for each cleaning, we take a structured approach to tailor engineering the ideal cleaning process for each application. We demonstrated this approach when a municipal water supply group from Canada reached out to Carolina PEC to evaluate porous metal spargers. Prior to cleaning, Carolina PEC established baseline testing to quantify the level of contamination, then collaborated with the site engineers to understand what contamination could be present in the elements. After an extensive internal R&D process, Carolina PEC utilized its molten salt bath cleaning to gently remove the contaminant. This project prevented the municipality from having to purchase new porous metal spargers.

Equally important to the cleaning itself is validation of complete contaminant removal and ensuring sufficient integrity remains for use in process. We offer a range of validation testing for filter elements as well as many tests for various parts and equipment.
