Grundfos Pumps in Industrial Water Treatment
Introduction
Grundfos pumps are used in industrial water treatment processes includ ing industrial water supply and transfer, industrial process water treatment, and industrial wastewater treatment and reuse.
Grundfos pumps and systems are used to deliver best - in - class water treatment solutions. Using Grundfos components can reduce system complexity and physical footprint . In some cases, intelligent solutions and electronic pumps that use variable speed can reduce the energy rating significantly.
Water Treatment Challenges
Industrial water treatment systems are designed to ensure that water leaving the system is safe, compliant, and of the right quality . In challenging industrial environments , water treatment systems are subject to particularly challenging conditions such as:
- Industrial water treatment systems are designed to ensure that water leaving the system is safe, compliant, and of the right quality . In challenging industrial environments , water treatment systems are subject to particularly challenging conditions such as:
- Constant changes in water quality, flux rates and fouling that make it difficult to control pump pressure
- Increasing water scarcity that requires more efficient and sustainable water use
Due to these challenges, there is a constant need to increase energy and cost savings in industrial water treatment systems. This is where Grundfos can help.

For industrial water supply, Grundfos pump solutions are used for pressure boosting, level control, liquid transport or filtration.
Requirements for industrial water supplies can vary widely . Some applications may require frequent use of water in small amounts , and other applications need to fill several large tanks in very little time without affecting the water supply in other parts of the facility .
Grundfos utility pumps ensure constant pressure and steady flow at all times in water supply applications , with solutions designed for energy efficiency and water quality. Grundfos products can be used to build a fully - integrated and optimized water supply system.
Industrial Process Water Treatment
Industrial water treatment applications cover a wide range, from treating aggressive media like seawater to producing ultrapure water (WFI or UPW). Pumps are used in all treatment steps from intake to distribution, including substance removal, disinfection, chemical dosing, monitoring and control. Grundfos pumping solutions provide high reliability with intelligent pumps and systems for water treatment solutions in all industrial applications.
In the ever - evolving water treatment industry, the need for connectivity, accuracy, and efficiency is constantly increasing. Grundfos products are used in all stages , with pumps, motors and controls designed specifically for the water treatment process including:
- industry - leading CR vertical multistage pumps for pressure boosting and membrane filtration applications
- accurate and intelligent chemical dosing pumps
- pumps with systems to monitor, measure and control key water chemistry and process parameters
Grundfos pumping solutions are intelligent and reliable, with data - driven technology that connects and optimizes the entire system to save time, money and maintenance.

One crucial aspect of modern industrial manufacturing is the handling of wastewater. Treating it means achieving purity levels that enable industrial wastewater to be reused within the facility and for different utility processes for production. However, there is a cost to treating wastewater , and regulations are tightening.
Water that leaves the wastewater system must be of the right quality to ensure that it is safe and compliant before it enters the sewer or the environment. An industrial wastewater solution must be flexible enough to deal with the changing qualities of the wastewater while at the same time addressing the needs of the industry:
- optimize wastewater treatment and reuse processes
- comply with regulations
- reduce system complexity
- address changing water conditions
- save water and energy
Grundfos wastewater pump systems treat organic and chemical wastewater and measure and control the process, maximizing safety and minimizing downtime. Grundfos pumps with intelligent monitoring options help keep track of water quality throughout the treatment process , ensuring decentralized wastewater treatment systems that are reliable, cost efficient and compliant wit h increasing demands for industrial water reuse.
