Water quality is key to running effective and lucrative carwash operations. Not only is water used during the wash process, but it also has a direct impact on the lifespan of wash equipment and the effectiveness of soaps, detergents, and chemicals.

Salt, hardness, minerals, and other impurities in city water cause spotting, and customers expect a spot free shine when leaving a car wash. Reverse Osmosis demineralizes and purifies the water allowing you to achieve a spotless and sparkling clean result. Using treated water also increases the effectiveness of soaps and detergents by removing minerals which hinder detergent performance, allowing for more effective washing and savings in the amount of labor and supplies used. Demineralizing the water through RO, NF, or softening reduces equipment maintenance and downtime as well as prolonging equipment life by preventing sediment and scale build up.

A proper water treatment solution will directly impact your profits due to more effective washes, less labor for post wash activities, less equipment maintenance, and an improved final product for increased customer satisfaction.

Applied Membranes has in-depth experience of the unique requirements of chemical production and provides equipment for treating process water, boiler feedwater, utility water and the treatment of steam condensate. Our engineers can custom-design systems tailored to address the specific water quality and fouling challenges of your application, with long term reliability, cost effectiveness, safety and regulatory compliance requirements integrated into the design.

In emergency situations and disasters such as drought, flood, earthquakes, fire, or war, it is imperative to establish a safe and reliable supply of potable water immediately.

Customer experience is the driving factor for success in the hospitality industry, and this is directly impacted by the quality of water used in food service or provided to hotel guests. Improving the quality of your water will upgrade your guest's experience as they notice better tasting ice, water, coffee and vended beverages, as well as softer, brighter linens. Treated water is also a necessity to keep other amenities such as hot water, cooling towers, boilers, ice machines, and laundry services running efficiently and reliably. In addition to adding value to your operation, treating your incoming water can prolong the life and reduce maintenance needs for appliances and equipment in your facilities.

AMI has many water treatment systems operating in hotels, resorts and restaurants worldwide. Our list of successful installations includes Sheraton Beach Resort, Fiesta Americana, Grupo Posadas, Cozumel Hotel, Cotton Bay Club and many more.

Enjoy the freedom of producing clean, fresh drinking water from seawater and eliminating frequent marina stops to refill water tanks. Watermaker seawater desalination systems use reverse osmosis technology to treat virtually any seawater source into fresh, safe water which can be used for drinking, bathing, food preparation, deck and exterior wash-downs, and a variety of other uses.

Land based installations can be used to supply freshwater to marinas, hotels, resorts, military operations, off-shore platforms, and a large variety of other applications.

Water is a critical ingredient in pharmaceutical products and important factor in operations such as formulation, rinsing, sanitizing and cleaning. It is critical to achieve a consistent and high-quality ultrapure water supply while meeting USP XXIII regulations.
