One of the chief element that humans need is Copper! Its like a nectar to our health, but excessive amounts may leads to serious health issues. It gets into water systems through corroded pipes, industrial discharge and natural deposits, leading to both health hazards and operational inefficiencies.
Scientific studies states that the it also linked to neurological effects that includes cognitive issues as well as mood swings. Additionally, it gives water a metallic taste and causes staining on household appliances, affecting both usability and water quality.
Equipment Corrosion – Excess copper accelerates the wear and tear of machinery.
Production Quality Issues – Affects water-sensitive industries like pharmaceuticals and food processing.
Scaling & Blockage – Copper buildup clogs pipelines, increasing maintenance costs.
Regulatory Non-Compliance – Industries risk penalties for exceeding permissible copper levels.
Different water treatment methods are employed to remove copper contamination, depending on the source and severity:
Ion Exchange – Replaces copper ions with harmless sodium or hydrogen ions.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) – Highly effective in filtering out copper particles.
Activated Carbon Filtration – Adsorbs copper ions from drinking water.
Chemical Precipitation – Uses coagulants to separate copper from water.
Electrochemical Treatment – Removes copper through controlled oxidation.
Despite effective methods, several challenges make copper reduction a complex process:
Corrosion Source – Constant leaching from old plumbing systems.
Cost Factors – Advanced filtration methods can be expensive for large-scale industries.
Efficiency Variation – Some methods work better at high pH levels but not at low pH levels.
Waste Disposal – Sludge and residues from treatment require proper handling.
At Pervel Water Technologies, we tackle these obstacles with customized water treatment solutions:
Pipeline Assessment & Treatment – Identifying corrosion sources and implementing preventive measures.
Advanced Multi-Stage Filtration – The combination of RO, ion exchange that can adsorp maximum efficiency.
Eco Friendly & Cost Effective Systems – Reducing operational costs while ensuring high removal rates.
Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance – Preventing recontamination with regular water quality checks.
