Ensuring drinking water supply worldwide is one of the key challenges today and therefore one of the most important and fastest-growing industry sectors. Systems for water intake, production, purification and distribution need to adapt to the diverse regional conditions. Despite the differences, a constantly high water quality is required throughout the whole process, which places high demands on the system solution.

Producing drinking water is a demanding challenge that requires the right systems behind the scenes. Depending on the application area, the choice of plastic material for pipes, valves, and fittings - according to their chemical and mechanical properties - is essential for a long-lasting system. By choosing the appropriate instrumentation for measurement, control, and chemical dosing processes, constant water quality can be ensured. Furthermore, the automation and technology setting is one of the decisive aspects to optimize the total cost of ownership. With the high-quality system solutions of GF Piping Systems – one provider - offering pipes, fittings, automation, and instrumentation from one source - the optimal compatibility of all components is warranted.

Key applications

GF Piping Systems develops application-oriented system solutions that enable profitable operations and are ideally suited for the water treatment industry. We support our customers in implementing sustainable, future-oriented, and well-designed plant concepts with state-of-the-art planning techniques to optimize the economic efficiency of processes.

Neutralization

In nearly every water treatment process, the water is to be pH adjusted for meeting the treatment requirements, whether it is wastewater for public wastewater treatment plants, drinking water produced by reverse osmosis, alkaline or acidic wastewater. All those operations are to be properly monitored and controlled by a proper measurement and control setup. We offer high process reliability and cost optimization in this cost-intensive area.

Chemical distribution

Transporting chemicals in the highest quality, different concentrations and exact dosing is mandatory. Choosing the appropriate piping system including automation offers many advantages such as increased productivity, decreased production and maintenance costs, and improved product quality.

Dosing/ Dilution

Dosing and / or diluting chemicals requires highly specialized and reliable workflows, especially with aggressive chemicals. Concentrated chemicals in small amounts are dosed in-line or through a static mixer that ensures correct dilution in the process.

With a selective combination of pressure control valves, flow meters, and control instrumentation, a plastic system is easily constructed to customer specifications.

Ion Exchange

Demineralization units (such as deionization, reverse osmosis, or distillation techniques) secure the production of pure high quality process water in the industrial environment. Water purification, separation and decontamination of aqueous and other ion-containing fluids characterize applications in that water treatment area. In this context, ion exchangers can absorb unwanted ions in the water, thanks to selective synthetic resin beads, and release them during a regeneration process. The compact construction of ion exchange plants requires flexible piping solutions and components. GF Piping Systems provides complete solutions of high-quality piping systems warranting a maximum of flexibility while ensuring an entirely safe plant operation with a maximum uptime.

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis technology is a filtering method by which contaminated water passes through a very fine membrane under high pressure and removes nearly all water pollution, such as minerals, bacteria, and any further particles. Due to the fact that it needs no chemicals, energy consumption is low and handling is easy.

GF Piping Systems products are used as high quality components for piping and for monitoring water quality.

Media Filtration

Membrane technology is a future-oriented technology and includes diverse filtration techniques that are all based on different degrees of membrane porosity. This technology is increasingly being implemented to harvest drinking water and process water from surface water and seawater. Due to the need for several flow processes (activated carbon, backwash, rinsing), filters are made of numerous valves and bypass actuators, combined with adapted measurement and control technology.
Decentralized membrane filtration systems have the potential to supply safe drinking water in low-income countries. GF Piping Systems offers maximum security and profitability for efficient processes, for instance by eliminating maintenance costs caused by rust and deposits.
