 Water use and treatment in industrial plants is critical to the operations and financial success of the facility. The cost may be a minor part of the overall operation, but any interruption or problem with the quality of water can have a significant affect on the plant's ability to operate or turn a profit.
Water treatment may also be one of the few areas where cost efficiencies can be attained. In the electrical power industry for example, de-regulation has forced companies to reduce costs and many water treatment specialists may have been downsized during this process.
The need for this specialized discipline still exists, but the critical need for such expertise is only intermittently required. A question that is crucial to many companies is: How to acquire water treatment expertise that is sometimes critical but most times not required?
| There are three possible solutions to this question: |
- Increase support staff and add a full time water treatment specialist on staff
- Rely on the water treatment chemical vendors to fill the role
- Use a Water Treatment Consultant

Data Mobility Systems offers Water Treatment Oversight using our experienced Water Treatment Consultants and sophisticated, internally-developed software. While an outside consultant option has benefits that cannot be realized with the other two options, a technology-based consultant, such as DMS, brings substantially more benefits than internal specialists, water treatment vendors (equipment or chemical) or other consultants. For example: |
On-Staff Water Treatment Specialist
|
- Has limited value during non critical times
- May not have experience in all necessary water treatment areas
- May have limited skill set to perform tasks not water chemistry related
- May not have latest technology skills
|
| Water Treatment Chemical Vendors |
- Focus is to sell more chemicals and/or equipment
- Supplies biased reviews
- Will not or cannot perform all required tasks
- Local representative may not have appropriate experience
- Local representative can be changed without notice
- Quality of representative varies from location to location
- Tends to apply only technology that improves sale to the facility
- Local representative may not have required unit operations knowledge
|
| DMS Water Oversight Consultants |
- Not focused on selling chemicals or equipment
- Experienced personnel
- Can draw from several people with various skill sets and experience
- Skills can be added by utilizing additional consultants
