Georgia Pacific
Phillips, Wisconsin

Description of business

Georgia Pacific is a leading manufacturer and marketer of building materials, including plywood, gypsum boards, lumber and engineered wood products. They have 300 locations in North America, South America and Europe. At this location, they manufacture interior hard board paneling and paint and finish it.

Situation/Problem

They have 2 boilers: primary boiler is a York-Shipley fire tube boiler rated at 24,000 pounds per hour; standby boiler is a Cleaver Brook water tube boiler rated at 20,000 pounds per hour.

Their steam usage in the summer is 8,000 to 12,000 pounds per hour; winter usage is 14,000 to 20,000 pounds per hours. A significant amount of hot water is needed to produce the steam, resulting in high energy usage.

After dissolved solids build up in a boiler, the equipment needs to “blow down” in order to send the impurities down the drain. Prior to the installation of equipment, they were blowing down approximately 4500 gallons of waste water per day.

Customer

Camille Beckman
Eagle, Idaho

Description of business

Manufacturer of high-end body care and bath products, creams and lotions

Situation/Problem

There are two possible sources of water for the Camille Beckman facility: city water and an Artesian well that’s on their property. The city water is extremely hard, so they use the well water, which is 4 grains of hardness. The products that Camille Beckman manufactures soften and moisturize the skin, so even 4 grains of hardness is too hard for these types of products. If the water is substandard, not only might the products be less effective, but the impurities in the water might have a negative interaction with other ingredients in the products.

Customer

Redding Car Wash
Broomfield, Colorado

Description of business

High-traffic spot-free rinse car wash. Self-service/coin operated.

Situation/Problem

Reddington Car Wash had 18-year-old water treatment equipment that was no longer functioning
properly. The equipment was still producing “great water,” as Randy describes it, but due to
the age of the system, the membranes on the R.O. were clogging and the system wasn’t producing
enough water per day for his needs.

Industry - Hotel

Customer

Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites

Targeted mostly towards business people who are there for short stays. Offers executive suites and
access to business services.

Situation/Problem

water accelerates scale build-up and causes equipment malfunction or damage.
