Groundwater
Treatment selected from hardness, iron, manganese, salinity, turbidity and microbiological findings.
Source-water solution
Special Source Water
Treatment planning for difficult source water where incomplete analysis or an assumed process creates the greatest project risk.

Choose the duty before the treatment train.
Each application changes the design inputs, operating risks and useful level of treatment.
High-TDS Water
Pretreatment and RO staging assessed against salinity, scaling, recovery and concentrate disposal.
Open the high-tds water planning guideSeawater Desalination
Intake, pretreatment and high-pressure RO planning based on source variability and marine discharge constraints.
Mine Water
Solids, metals, salinity and reuse requirements considered as one treatment and residuals-management problem.
High-Hardness Water
Softening, antiscalant and membrane options selected from hardness load and downstream sensitivity.
Iron and Manganese Removal
Oxidation and filtration concepts based on dissolved species, pH, oxygen demand and solids handling.
Common feed-water issues
Define the load before the equipment.
- High dissolved salts and osmotic pressure
- Hardness, silica and scale risk
- Iron, manganese, color or suspended solids
- Concentrate, backwash and sludge disposal
Treatment objective
Set a use-specific design basis.
- A verified use-specific product-water target
- Stable pretreatment protecting downstream membranes
- Recovery compatible with scaling and discharge constraints
- Residuals handling included in the design basis

FAQ
Questions about special source water.
What analysis is needed for high-TDS water treatment?
Include conductivity or TDS, major ions, hardness, alkalinity, silica, iron, manganese, turbidity, organics where relevant, temperature and any seasonal variation.
Can softening reduce TDS?
Conventional ion-exchange softening exchanges hardness ions but does not normally reduce total dissolved solids. RO or another desalination process may be needed for a lower-TDS target.
How are iron and manganese removed?
The route may include oxidation, contact time and filtration, but pH, dissolved species, organics and the required residual concentration determine the design.
