Water – DI vs. RO
Preceeding blogs have described two ways of reducing the ionic content of water for use in washing and rinsing applications. Although both reduce ionic content, the process commonly called “De-Ionization” uses a treated resin to capture ions while the “Reverse Osmosis” process … Continue reading

Water – De-Ionoized – Right and Wrong
This blog explores some common mistakes made in the application of de-ionization hardware. Although a properly engineered and installed de-ionization system will prevent these potential mistakes at the start, post-installation modifications by those less knowledgeable about de-ionizing technology don’t always … Continue reading

Water – Making “Hard” water “Soft”
“Hard” water contains minerals, usually Calcium and Magnesium, that form scale and soap scum. In most cases, soft water is preferred to hard water in industrial cleaning. In some cases it can mean the difference between success and disaster. Since … Continue reading
Metrology – Concepts in Practice
Preceding blogs on metrology have introduced some basic concepts which can serve as food for thought. Today, I would like to give you a couple of examples of the practical application of the concepts discussed so far in industrial cleaning … Continue reading
