View Full Case Study Problem A Kansas manufacturing plant was forced to shut down after unusually high sodium levels in the Kansas River led to increased salinity in city water. Conductivity of the city water also increased from 500 µS/cm to 1,600 µS/cm. This heightened water conductivity was problematic during the rinsing process as it […]
View Full Case Study Problem Not satisfied with the variable cost of city water and the additional sewer charge associated with disposal of wastewater, managers at a Michigan oil refinery sought to restructure its water system by incorporating reverse osmosis (RO) technology. Plant personnel determined that reusing process wastewater would maximize efficiency and minimize expenses. […]
View Full White Paper It is no secret that the power sector has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Stricter government regulations, environmental pressures and tighter budgets have transformed the way energy is produced and consumed, encouraging industry leadership to rethink age-old processes. However, certain industry standards remain constant even though an increased focus […]
As part of our regular Staff Profile Series, we recently interviewed Justin Pierce, Director of Engineering & Manufacturing at MPW Industrial Services. Having worked with the MPW team his entire career, Justin has been a key player in advancing the company’s engineering department. How did you get your start with MPW? I actually started at […]
MPW Industrial Services earned a certification from Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) to build industrial control panels on December 27. MPW is now authorized to fabricate ETL-standard panels intended for general use. MPW’s Panel Shop is located in the Technology Center on its Corporate Campus in Hebron, Ohio. MPW designs and constructs panels for process industrial […]
View Full Case Study Problem An outdated deionization (DI) system in the paint-booth area of an Ohio automotive plant was failing to produce an acceptable quality of water and necessitated excessive chemical costs. Additionally, chemical leakage was causing damage to floors, valves and pumps near the system. Influent city feedwater measured approximately 700 µS/cm […]
View Spec Sheet MPW’s Reverse Osmosis-Electrodeionization (RO-E) System is a convenient production solution for removing dissolved solids, total organic carbon (TOC) and other colloidal contaminants in a conveniently smaller footprint than traditional units. The system is operable in either single- or double-pass mode, with nominal flow rates up to 350 GPM and 200 GPM, […]
Port Arthur Service Center. Port Arthur, Texas. Industrial Water Division. Discuss your branch’s dedication to safety. One of our daily reminders during our shift change meetings always includes the phrase “safety, quality, production.” Our belief is if we don’t do our job safely, no amount of quality or production can make up for an injured co-worker. […]
View Spec Sheet MPW’s 15- and 30-cubic-foot ion exchange vessels provide customized systems to meet your specific flow rate and quality requirements. Systems can be provided in a variety of configurations from a single-vessel system up to dual-train, multi-vessel designs. Each system includes interconnecting hoses with optional monitoring instrumentation and automatic shutdown controls. MPW’s field […]
View Full Case Study Problem Before the commissioning of a Midwestern natural gas and steam-driven power plant, tests on the plant’s source water revealed elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2). With no plans for an on-site water-treatment facility, the plant relied on MPW as its exclusive deionization (DI) supplier. The facility is also a zero-liquid-discharge […]
