Clean, treated water plays a vital role in industrial processing and commercial consumption. Used within hotels & resorts, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, biomedical, refineries, steam generation, fabrication, processing, washing, dilution, cooling, and more, all of which require hygienic water to ensure day to day processes run smoothly.

Untreated water leads to build-up of salt minerals that cause corrosion of pipes and tanks, as well as scale build-up in steam boilers and cooling towers. Damaged equipment caused by the build-up of impurities and mineral salts are costly and can easily be avoided by using clean water. Many businesses add an industrial water treatment system to their business. Reverse osmosis, filtration, ozonation, chemical feed systems are popular examples.

A crucial part of water treatment is the process itself. For instance, in a chemical feed system, chemicals must accurately be dispensed or injected into the water system. Too little or too much chemical can cause serious illness, corrosion, or scale build-up that ultimately shuts down production.

Boiswood’s flow monitors and flow meters make sure the feed line shows flow and ensures chemicals are accurately dispensed. Our products are designed to work in-line with pump feeds for treatment systems to confirm flow is present before operation, preventing pump burn-out. These flow monitors and meters are also used in water treatment skids and wall-panels for dosing accuracy. The correct dosage
of chlorine is crucial to producing safe, disinfected water.

We offer our customers a variety of flow switches, monitors and meters, in a selection of standard configurations as well as bespoke solutions for specific demands. From laser cooling systems to machine lubrication, corrosive chemical dispensing to material consumption measurement, we are sure to have the right solution for any application.

Whether it is adjustable or fixed flow settings you require, our range of units can be supplied in 316SS, Teflon, PVC and Brass, all of which very low maintenance. To explore our selection of products click here, or get in touch to find out more on how we can assist you.
