Oil Refinery Reduces Energy Consumption With a Culligan^® Solution

A major petroleum refinery was looking to replace a hot lime softener. Naturally occurring minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium and Silica can cause scale in steam boilers and other types of equipment used in refinery operations. Scale deposits in steam boilers can reduce equipment efficiency and increase energy, chemical, disposal and maintenance costs. Hot lime softening is a traditional treatment technology used to reduce hardness and alkalinity from boiler feed water.

Pharmaceutical/Personal Care Product Manufacturer Promotes Quality Standards

Pharmaceutical manufacturers demand high quality water with the fewest dissolved solids possible, to promote product consistency. A Canadian manufacturer of pharmaceutical/personal care products was looking to maintain water quality specifications to promote product consistency and improve product shelf life.

A sustainable approach from Culligan^® Matrix Solutions^™

A major beverage plant was looking to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment while meeting the water treatment challenges at its facility. The sustainability goals of the facility included reducing water usage and energy costs associated with its operations.

Power plant improves operating efficiency with Culligan^® Matrix Solutions^™

A large chemical manufacture was challenged with boiler tube failures in its power plant, resulting in costly repairs and down time. The boiler tube failures were a result of the incoming water quality to the power plant. Until recently, the boiler make-up water was treated with a combination of carbon media filtration and softening.

With the Culligan^® system, the customer estimates a savings of $14,439 in one year.

Water is a key ingredient in the manufacturing process at Cadbury Adams, a leading producer of top brands of chewing gum and confections. Their water treatment equipment, responsible for 200,000 gallons of water per day, was highly inefficient and wasting both water and salt. Not only was Cadbury Adams losing money, they were compromising their entire operation.

Getting a high-purity system in place was a preventive measure to keep their products at the level of quality that their customers have come to expect.

There are two possible sources of water for the Camille Beckman facility: city water and an Artesian well that’s on their property. The city water is extremely hard, so they use the well water, which is 4 grains of hardness. The products that Camille Beckman manufactures soften and moisturize the skin, so even 4 grains of hardness is too hard for these types of products. If the water is substandard, not only might the products be less effective, but the impurities in the water might have a negative interaction with other ingredients in the products.

After Treasure Island implemented brine reclaim on their water softening system, they experienced a 30% savings in salt.

Treasure Island Casino had recently purchased a triplex softener system and was asked to be a test site for Culligan^®’s MVP controller. The customer was interested in the new controller because it offered the ease of programming; with the push of a button, all of the softeners take on the same setting. Treasure Island had a relatively new softener system with older controls, so as part of the field test, we upgraded the Treasure Island system with MVP (in 2002).

Gerald remembers “Hey, Culligan^® Man” from the time he was a child... there was a feeling of confidence and trust working with an established business.

Four Seasons had a softener but it was not a quality system. It had numerous valves that didn’t seem to have a real function, and they frequently got stuck. The system was obsolete. Gerald felt it was time to replace it. Four Seasons had to frequently descale the boiler – six 5-gallon buckets at a time. They had a 2” copper line that had been reduced to an internal diameter of only ½” due to scaling.
