productwater
Product water is a term used across industries to describe water that is generated as a product stream or purified to a specification for sale or use. In water treatment and desalination, product water is the purified output produced by processes such as reverse osmosis, distillation, or deionization. This water is intended for distribution or use in industrial processes and may be described by grade (potable, process, or pharmaceutical) depending on quality targets. Key characteristics include low dissolved solids, low organic content, and controlled chemistry.
Beyond purification, product water may describe water generated by reactions or separation steps. In chemical processing,
In desalination and general water-treatment operations, product water is the cleaned water produced for distribution, while
Quality metrics for product water include conductivity or resistivity, total dissolved solids, silica, chlorides, organic content,
Economics depend on recovery rate, energy consumption, and pretreatment requirements; higher purity can expand usable applications
