Activated Carbon Filtration Systems

Client Challenge: NSF International is an internationally-recognized sanitation and public health testing company that is planning a new testing facility in Ann Arbor, MI. To recreate the various situations that would be faced by new products entering the market, NSF International required ultrapure water as a control to which they can add elements to fabricate the different types of water that could run through the products that they test. Besco Solution: In order to meet NSF’s ultrapure water needs, Besco Commercial’s water experts designed a system that combines carbon backwash filters for de-chlorination, a water softener for hardness removal, reverse osmosis system for purification, a permeate tank for reverse osmosis water storage, a pressurization pump and an ultraviolet end treatment for disinfection. Since this was a new project within an empty, existing building, Besco worked closely with the owner (NSF), the general contractor, the pipe fitter and electrician to plan for size, installation and flow requirements. The water treatment project was delivered on-time and on-budget as scheduled for NSF International in Ann Arbor, MI.
