Companies in the cleaning and hygiene products manufacturing sector, such as Fábrica de Jabón La Corona, rely heavily on water as a key input in their processes, since its quality directly affects both operational efficiency and the final characteristics of the product (foam, stability, texture, and performance).

In these types of industries, water is not only used as a raw material but also plays a role in key stages such as dilution, reaction, washing, and rinsing; therefore, parameters such as hardness, dissolved solids, and organic matter must be kept under control.

The Challenge

 

In an industrial operation such as this, where water quality directly impacts the formulation and performance of products such as soaps and detergents, the need was identified to implement a desalination solution that would guarantee a water supply with controlled and consistent characteristics. Decisions had to be made urgently to avoid compromising the continuity of water-dependent production lines during critical stages such as mixing, dilution, and rinsing.

  • The need for a solution that is technically aligned with the actual process requirements, ensuring a reduction in hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS), and compounds that affect properties such as foam, stability, and the quality of the final product.
  • The importance of a rapid and well-founded response that would make it possible to establish a robust treatment plan, minimizing the risks of scaling, fouling, and variability in water quality.

The Solution

 

To meet these requirements, an AZUD WATERTECH OSM DOX54 reverse osmosis plant was installed, designed to ensure a continuous supply of water of sufficient quality for the process.

The solution took the following into account:

  • A comprehensive treatment system, including pretreatment steps to protect the membranes and ensure stable system performance.
  • Efficient Reduction of TDS and Hardness, making it possible to obtain water suitable for the formulation of hygiene products, preventing chemical interference, and improving process repeatability.
  • Reliable and Consistent Operation, which is key to maintaining the plant’s operational continuity without any changes in the quality of the treated water.
  • Design tailored to actual operating conditions, taking into account the quality of the influent water, production requirements, and recovery and efficiency criteria.

 

Benefits of the Solution

 

 

  • The Implementation of the Reverse Osmosis Plant AZUD WATERTECH OSM DOX54 It ensured a continuous supply of desalinated water meeting the quality requirements for the process, which translates into greater stability in the formulation and consistency in the final product within an operation such as the La Corona Soap Factory. The solution made it possible to respond immediately to a critical need, preventing downtime or disruptions to the plant’s operational continuity.
  • Thanks to its compact and efficient design, the system was integrated without requiring any significant modifications to the existing infrastructure, making it easier to implement in an operational industrial environment.
  • The reliability of the reverse osmosis system ensures a stable and controlled operation, even under varying water quality conditions. From an operational standpoint, it allows key parameters such as TDS, hardness, and chemical stability to be maintained within specifications, even in the face of fluctuations in influent water quality.
  • Overall, this not only improves the process reliability, but it also helps protect equipment by reducing the risk of scaling and fouling and optimizing performance over time.
