Tööstusvesi

Tööstusvesi, also known as industrial water, is water used in commercial and industrial processes. Its uses are diverse and can range from cooling and heating to processing, washing, and dilution. Unlike potable water which must meet strict drinking water standards, tööstusvesi has varying quality requirements depending on its specific application. This means that tööstusvesi may be treated to a lesser extent than drinking water, or in some cases, it might require more specialized treatment to remove contaminants that could interfere with industrial processes.

The sources of tööstusvesi are also varied. It can be drawn from surface water bodies such as rivers and lakes, from groundwater, or it can be treated wastewater from municipal or other industrial facilities. The availability and cost of tööstusvesi are significant factors for many industries, and water scarcity can impact industrial operations. Efficient use and recycling of tööstusvesi are therefore important for sustainable industrial development. Treatment processes for tööstusvesi often focus on removing suspended solids, dissolved minerals, and specific chemical contaminants that could cause scaling, corrosion, or interfere with product quality. The specific treatment regimen is highly dependent on the industry and the intended use of the water.
