• For industrial uses with human contact potential and/or<br />

industries that require partial hardness and dissolved<br />

salt removal<br />

• Requires a coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation<br />

process with filtration<br />

• Removes some hardness and dissolved salts; provides<br />

some soluble organic removal and color removal<br />

• Meets tertiary recycled water criteria<br />

• For industrial uses with human contact potential and/or<br />

industries that can use hard/high salt water<br />

• Provides soluble organic removal and color removal<br />

• Provides pathogen removal and reduces disinfection<br />

requirements<br />

• Meets tertiary recycled water criteria<br />

• For industries requiring low dissolved salts<br />

• Requires Tertiary 2 water followed by softening with RO<br />

or ED depending on the target constituents<br />

• Meets tertiary recycled water criteria<br />

• For industries requiring low dissolved salts and removal<br />

of trace constituents<br />

• Requires Tertiary 3 water with RO and either ion<br />

exchange, carbon adsorption or advanced oxidation<br />

processes, depending on the target constituent.<br />

• Meets tertiary recycled water criteria<br />

As shown in Table 10, a significant portion of industries use their water supply as<br />

cooling water. For most industries that require water as a cooling source <strong>for</strong> various<br />

equipment and processes, cooling water accounts <strong>for</strong> 30-95% of the water use.<br />

Existing facilities still use once-through cooling and some of these facilities could use<br />

the base quality supply, depending on the hardness and salt concentrations. As<br />

industrial facilities upgrade, once-through systems are being replaced by recirculating<br />

systems that use less water. Most new facilities with a ground water supply source<br />

use recirculating systems, in keeping with Minnesota water appropriations permit<br />

guidelines.<br />

Recirculating systems have limits on the concentration of dissolved salts in the<br />

cooling water, where excessive concentrations result in scaling and corrosion<br />

problems. There are different unit processes and groupings of processes that can<br />

remove salts and provide a softened supply <strong>for</strong> cooling water uses. Both Tertiary 1<br />
