Article | Solid Water Treatment

Solid water treatment is being more widely employed across a range of industries because it offers a number of important advantages, particularly when system performance, convenience, and safety are top priorities. The following justifies the use of solid water treatment:

1. Simplicity of Use

Lower Risk of Spills: Accidental spills of solid chemicals are less likely to cause workplace dangers or environmental damage.

Simplified Storage: Compared to liquid chemicals, which may need spill containment or special containers, solids usually require less room and fewer safety measures.

Extended Storage Life: Chemicals used in solid water treatment have a longer shelf life than those in liquid form, so they may be kept for longer periods of time without going bad.

2. More secure for staff

Lower Exposure Risk: Compared to potentially dangerous liquids, handling solid chemicals frequently has lower hazards for skin contact, inhalation, or accidental ingestion, making it safer for operators.

Non-Volatile: Solid forms of chemicals are less likely to release toxic vapours than some liquid forms, which further lowers the dangers to workers’ health at work.

3. Economical

Reduced Transport Expenses: Since solids aren’t dissolved with water or another solvent, they are lighter and less voluminous than liquids, which lowers the cost of transportation.

Reduced Storage Costs: Compared to many hazardous liquids, solids take less space and don’t require tanks or extra containment, so storage costs are typically lower for solids.

Decreased Frequency of Shipping: Since solids often contain a larger concentration of active chemicals, fewer materials are required for each treatment, which can reduce the frequency of shipments.

4. Environmental Advantages

Less Packaging Waste: Solid water treatment products usually have more compact, smaller packaging, which lessens the amount of plastic usage.

Decreased Hazard of Environmental Spills: Unintentional leaks of liquid chemicals can be expensive and harmful to the environment. Solids reduce this risk since they are more easily contained in the event of a spill and do not spread readily.

Low Carbon dioxide emissions due to less fuel consumption in transportation and carbon dioxide emission due to no caustic addition in stabilising the liquid chemicals.

5. Simplified Dosing Controlled Release

A lot of solid treatment items, like briquettes or tablets, are made to dissolve gradually so that the chemicals are released gradually and under control.

6. Green and Sustainability Initiatives

Solid water treatment fits in nicely with sustainability-focused industries. More environmentally friendly processes include less handling of hazardous chemicals, less need for plastic drums, and lower transportation emissions.

7. Less Water Volume and Weight

Since liquid chemicals are frequently diluted with solvents or water, handling and shipping expenses rise along with the weight of the product. You’re simply moving the active ingredients while using solid forms, which results in more economical resource usage.
