GF Piping Systems
components provided for the HFX75d
system include: 2850 conductivity
sensors, 2750 pH sensors, and 2580
flow
sensors; Type 523 metering
FIGURE 2. Specification of the proper components

water-recycling system
wastewater treatment systems have
been engineered and manufactured
exclusively with GF Piping Systems'
components (Figure 2). Critical GF
valves, which regulate the HFX75d
regeneration cycles; Type 233, 285
and 288 air-actuated valves, which
regulate the duplex systems that alternate
between service and regeneration
cycles; 582 pressure-reducing
valves; 586 pressure-retaining valves;
and 514 diaphragm valves, which autonomously
maintain constant pressure
for the blending and injection of
the resin-regeneration chemistry.
As described by Ward, the results
of this approach are a " win-win-win "
for Water Innovations, their suppliers
and their customers - as well
as for a world where water scarcity
is a growing concern. To operate
its Orange County facility, the aerospace
company needed high-quality
water for rinsing and a reliable process
for regulatory compliance, both
at costs it could afford. The HFX75d
recycling system from Water Innovations
makes it possible for the business
to achieve both goals. With
the company's need to draw on the
finite public water supply drastically
reduced, Orange County officials
have reason to smile as well. Ward
commented proudly: " Having been
recycling water for 20 years, or literally
hundreds of millions of gallons of
water that have been reused by our
customers - I think that's really the
epitome of sustainability. " For a business
squarely founded on " leaving
things cleaner than you found them, "
this claim seems well justified. ■
