Water Treatment Solutions

Advanced water treatment technologies for flat glass, container glass, and specialty glass manufacturing processes

Overview

The glass manufacturing industry uses large volumes of water in various stages—from raw material preparation and furnace cooling to glass forming, cutting, polishing, and cleaning. If not properly treated, process water can cause scaling, corrosion, staining, and microbial fouling, leading to quality defects and equipment damage.

We offer customized water treatment systems designed specifically for the flat glass, container glass, and specialty glass sectors. Our solutions ensure water purity, reduce downtime, minimize water consumption, and meet regulatory standards for effluent discharge or recycling.

Water Purity

Ensuring the highest quality water for all glass manufacturing processes

Reduced Downtime

Minimizing equipment maintenance and production interruptions

Water Conservation

Maximizing water recycling and reducing overall consumption

Our Solutions

1

Cooling Water Treatment

Challenge

High temperature, scale formation (CaCO₃, silica), corrosion, biofouling

Solution

  • Water softening
  • Chemical dosing (anti-scalants, corrosion inhibitors)
  • Side-stream filtration
  • Closed loop treatment (if applicable)
2

Process Water Recycling

Challenge

Suspended solids, glass fines, oils, and surfactants

Solution

  • Clarifiers + Lamella Settlers
  • DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation)
  • Sand/multimedia filtration
  • Ultrafiltration (UF) for polishing
  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) for reuse in sensitive processes
3

Glass Washing Water Treatment

Challenge

Water hardness and dissolved salts leave stains and spots on glass

Solution

  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) for low TDS water
  • Deionization (DI) / Mixed Bed Polishing
  • UV disinfection (to avoid microbial growth)
4

Effluent Treatment

Challenge

High suspended solids, pH imbalance, chemical contamination

Solution

  • Equalization tank
  • Coagulation + Flocculation
  • Primary settling
  • pH correction
  • Sludge dewatering via filter press or decanter
  • Final polishing with multimedia filters or activated carbon
