Increased population and insufficient investment in infrastructure over the past several decades have left almost one-third of the world's people without access to clean water. Unesco has identified the care for clean water as one of the most important objectives for the coming years.

With regard to the improvement of our drinking water, Bronkhorst products can play an important role in such areas as:

Typical application in Water Treatment

Dosing additives to prevent lead or copper precipitation

Public water systems commonly add phosphates to the drinking water as a corrosion inhibitor to prevent the leaching of lead and copper from pipes and fixtures. Inorganic phosphates (e.g. phosphoric acid, zinc phosphate, and sodium phosphate) are added to the water to create orthophosphate, which forms a protective coating of insoluble mineral scale on the inside of service lines and household plumbing. The coating serves as a liner that keeps corrosion elements in water from dissolving some of the metal in the drinking water. As a result, lead and copper levels in the water will remain low and within the norms to protect the public health.
