Demineralized, deionized, and distilled water share one thing in common in that they are all types of purified water, meaning that they have undergone some treatment process to remove impurities and make the treated water suitable for given industrial applications. While they are of similarly high quality, the distinction between the three lies in their treatment process, production and applications.

Applications of demineralized, deionised and distilled water

Demineralised wateris specially purified water that is completely free or had most of its mineral removed. Demineralisation is essentially removing all the minerals that can be found in natural water. This process is usually done when the water will be used for chemical processes and the minerals present may interfere with the other chemicals. All chemist and beauty products have to be made with demineralised water for this reason.

Deionized water is a type of water where all the ions are completely removed, and it has no charge. It is free from all charged atoms or molecules (ions). All the cations and anions present as contaminants in the water has been removed thereby increasing the ionic purity and electrical resistance of the water. Ion exchange resins are used to exchange non-desirable cations and anions with hydrogen and hydroxyl respectively forming pure water (H20), which is not an ion. Deionization does not remove molecular species (e.g. sugar) or uncharged organic particles (most bacteria, viruses).

Deionized water can be created by taking conventional water and letting it exposed to electrically charged resins that will bind and attract to salts, and remove them from the water. The purity of deionized water depends on the source water. Deionized water is used when a soft solvent is needed. Other applications of demineralised and deionized water are:

High pressure boiler feed
Laser cutting
Stream irons and any other stream applications
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Industrial uses for engineering and scientific purposes
Can be used by computer chip manufacturers and other microelectronics
Automotive uses such as lead acid batteries and cooling systems
Aquariums
Fire extinguishers
Cooling applications where it is important to avoid depositing minerals
Many chemistry experiment involving ionic compounds
Washing glassware especially the final rinse
Solvent preparation
Deionized water is not used in situations involving long term contact with metals
Calibration standards.

Distilled wateris a type of water that is purified using distillation. The source water for distillation could be tap water, but spring water is used most often. Usually, the water is boiled and the steam is collected and condensed toyield distilled water.

Most minerals and certain other impurities are left behind, but the purity of the source water is important because some impurities (e.g., volatile organics, mercury) will vaporize along with the water. Distillation removes salts and particulates.

Applications of distilled water:

Distilled water is the best water to use in canning fruits and vegetables. Aside from the fact that it keeps fruits and vegetables in top shape by maintaining their colour and taste. It also prevents build up and cloudiness that usually happens when any other water is used.
Distilled water is perfect for making soaps because it has no chemicals that might only decrease the effectiveness of the soap.
Distilled water is safe to use in cooling down engines and cleaning since it is free of compounds.
Cosmetic companies use distilled water in their products to ensure that there are no unwanted contaminants within them.
Solvent to prepare a solution-In order to achieve an accurate result in experiments, distilled water is often used as it does not contain any minerals or contaminants that may affect the experiment outcome.
Analytical blank
Calibration standard and equipment sterilization.

Distilled water is preferable when cleaning medical tools which are used for medical procedures, performed on patients because it does not contain minerals that can cause spotting.

Demineralized water, distilled and deionized water are very essential in several industries as listed above. You can shop online GZ INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES for all your industrial materials, tools etc and feel free to connect with us on www.epoxyoil.com for more details.

Uses of Deionized and Demineralized water

Deionization is faster, less energy-intensive and more cost effective. The hydrogen and hydroxide ions introduced in this process unite to form pure water molecules. Deionized water is an essential ingredient in hundreds of applications including:

Medical/Laboratory Processes

Deionized water meeting Water For Injection (WFI) standards of purity is used as the basis for saline and other solutions to be injected into the body during medical procedures. Its bacteria-free and mineral-free purity assures the quality and stability of the solution as other ingredients are added to it. DI laboratory water is also used to clean instruments and lab equipment and to perform tissue cell culture, blood fractionation, and other lab procedures.

Pharmaceutical Water/Neutraceutical Water

Deionized water in the pharmaceutical industry is used for preparing culture media, for making up aqueous solutions, and for washing containers and apparatus. It is also used as a raw material, ingredient, and solvent in the processing, formulation, and manufacture of pharmaceutical and neutraceutical products, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates, compendia articles, and analytical reagents.

Microelectronics/Semiconductor Manufacturing

In semiconductor manufacturing, deionized water’s properties for absorbing minerals, enhancing detergents and residue-free drying make it useful for rinsing and cleaning semiconductor wafers. It is also used in wet etching, bacterial testing and many other processes throughout the fabrication facility.

Automotive

Deionized water is commonly used to top up lead-acid batteries, cooling systems and for other applications.

Cosmetics

Deionized water is often used as an ingredient to add purity, stability and performance in many hair care, skin care, body care, baby care, sun care and makeup products, where it is sometimes referred to as “aqua” on product ingredient labels.

Energy Research

Because of its high relative dielectric constant, deionized water is used as a high voltage dielectric in many pulsed power applications for energy research.

Car Wash

When used as a rinse after washing cars, windows, and similar applications, deionized spot-free rinse water dries without leaving spots caused by dissolved solutes, eliminating post-wash wipe downs.

Transformers and Transformer Oil in Nigeria, what to know

January 3, 2019 by Tech News team

Transformers and Transformer oil use Nigeria:

Nigeria and Power transformers.

Nigeria is replete with lots of power issues, my take is that we should endeavor to manage and enjoy the little power that is supplied off from our few operating power plants, in this write-up I may not necessarily look at the issues mitigating against increasing power supply in Nigeria, I will look at some micro issues that we do not bother about all the time, but pretty expensive to us because we do not know, this issue is not only for the technical team alone, it should bother all of us, we must demand some answers and ask the technical team what do they really know and why do we fall short of applying common sense that evidently looks so common.Ok. Let me explain, we have little power supplied off from our few power plants in Nigeria, but they are also largely wasted and resources also are being wasted in the process. Power transformers are supposed to be supplied to residents by the power companies, but for the most time and evidently so, transformers are supplied by residents and communities themselves, usually some state governments and federal state boards like NDDC gift transformers to communities and residents (the communities constitute technical committee to oversee how the transformers are installed, maintained and registered with the distribution companies before they are connected to the national power grid).

The power companies just wait and come to pick up their rental fees in the form of power bills, oh my, I fix my power transmission poles, I buy the wires or insulators, I also contribute to the good of my community to be able to purchase a transformer and the very day that the transformer is connected and your house is powered, that is the day the power distribution companies start sending electricity bills to your house both metered and imagined (what is now officially known as estimated billing, another fraud against the people). As unusual as that sounds, this is the facts and it is real. Nigeria electricity regulatory commission (NERC) got your back anyway, they ask you to write a petition and demand for a refund, hahaha, do that and wait for eternity to get a refund. Don’t get me wrong, it might be a lengthy process but it is worth the wait, unfortunately, the power companies take advantage of these waitings knowing few people will wait that long due to associated costs of not being connected to power until the end of the bureaucratic process of refunds or alternatives to it.

Transformer Oil

Well my write up today is on establishing some understandable and practical protocols on what transformer oil you need to ask the tech team to fill up the transformer so you can enjoy the transformer you contributed money to buy, if you don’t want to get involved in the endless circle of contributing maintenance money on the expensive transformer like it needs another form of fuel to power it to supply you the much-needed electricity. Transformer oil does very important things to your transformer fencing preventing it to go bad quickly, it aids in heat transfer or cooling of the transformer, it provides outstanding oxidation stability for an enhanced life of the transformer, while in the process of either increasing or decreasing AC voltage transformers actually generate a lot of heat, the transformer oil acts as a cooling agent and preserves the life of the transformer.

Does transformer oil degrade over time, should it be changed?:

When transformers are in use, I have explained above what the transformer oil does, these functions happen as long as the transformer is powered (Connected to high voltage electric power), however the oil degrade over time, why is that? Because there is contamination due to ingress of moisture and oxidation, hence a progressive degradation of the chemical and physical properties of the oil, consequently the dielectric strength of the oil is affected. It is recommended that when such happens over time, the oil should be changed outrightly, however, make it a task to your tech team that during the change of oil, to ensure that new transformer oil must first be used to rinse the oil compartments and ensure they are all cleaned up of the old oil before a new oil is filled. This is important because any remaining old oil will contaminate the new oil and enhance the degradation of the new oil. Do not forget to dispose of the old oil properly, do not allow them to dump it into the drain or in water, they are hazardous waste pollutants that will disrupt lives of plants and animals and can cause cancer in humans too.

There are 3 types of transformer oil,

The 3 types of Transformer oil are the Naphtenic, Paraffin and Synthetic transformer oils, The Naphthenic and Paraffinic are both mineral oils, however, the Naphtanic is more readily oxidized than the paraffin oil, but the oxidation product which forms a sludge is more soluble than the paraffin oil, this makes the sludge not to precipitate in bottom of the oil and hence does not disturb the transformer cooling system, in my opinion, and the opinion of others the Naphtenic oil is preferred. For the synthetic transformer oil, they are made of chemical products such as silicon oil, are usually fire resistant and hence costlier than mineral oils of the Naphthenic and paraffinic options.

Inhibited and unInhibited Transformer oil

Transformer oil can be inhibited and uninhibited, uninhibited transformer oils are mineral oil that contains no additives but are selected to achieve their desired characteristics by careful selecting the type of crude oil and proper refining techniques, however the inhibited transformer oils contains some amount of additives so as to inhibit oxidation and hence increasing its chemical stability when in use.

Monitoring the aging of transformer oils:

It is not out of place to ask your technical team to send the transformer oil for lab tests every six months, because the efficacy of the transformer oil goes down due to aging, although service life can be extended by inhibition (adding additives) look for the end of life characteristics like the dielectric strength and the oxidative stability. An aged oil is considered a bad transformer oil and can immediately damage the transformer, I have never heard of an electricity distribution company manager recommend laboratory tests of samples of used transformer oil to reconfirm its suitability for use. It may be that the costs of maintenance as usual are not borne by their companies, negligence or outright ignorance.

Recommended transformer oil for a Long lasting transformer:

I do not want to stress about all the technical details about why inhibited transformer oil is better than the uninhibited, but for the most part, ensure you fill your transformers with inhibited transformer oils for very obvious reasons also ensure the type of transformer oil you allow your tech team fill inside transformers to be inhibited Naphtanic transformer oil. If you want to buy in inhibited transformer oil in Large quantities you can buy from Epoxy Oilserv Nigeria and GZ Industrial Supplies online shop alternatively you can also buy in small quantities.

Epoxy Oilserv Limited Announces Nigeria’s best Degreaser Epochem 502 heavy duty degreaser and Industrial cleaner

Mrs. Nwachukwu Epoxy Oilserv reasearch chemist announced that now Nigerians can now enjoy benefits of buying a degreaser that works tough on surfaces, this degreaser is a concentrate that can be mixed with appropriate amount of water for intended purposes.

Epochem 502 is a water based, non toxic, biodegradable degreaser, it does not contain any hazardous solvents that can present an issue to users. developed out of need, since the chemical industry and our economy rely heavily on petroleum and its by-products, there has been tremendous need to develop a degreaser composition that can effectively clean the various types of oils usually encountered in marine and refining equipment such as engines, ship decks, tanks and the like and yet does not possess the numerous disadvantages which are inherent in other degreaser in the market, these products are unsatisfactory to use in marine and other industrial cleaning purposes because they contain petroleum based solvents and other toxic organic diluent .

Depending on the use Epochem 502 heavy duty degreaser and industrial cleaner can be employed full strength for particularly heavy cleaning jobs, such as spills of heavy oils, the unique feature of this degreaser is that degreasing is effective even at less or full strength and even when the material being removed is particularly difficult to solubilise, for example it is still effective when diluted with 5 to 10 parts of water.

Areas of use:

Heavy duty cleaning of Tanks, Engines
carbon on engine heads
Bunker C oil
Grease traps and machine parts
Decks and platforms
engine room Bulkheads
soil-stained concrete
degas tanks and barge compartments
Petroleum based drilling muds
compressor and diesel engine exteriors

Normal cleaning such as bilges, exhaust stack smoke. rubber clothing oil , oil-soaked ground and other dirt sands, told, mildew, algae, water-line scum, teakwood decks, carpeting and the like can be accomplished with dilution from 10 to 20 times with one part of Epochem 502 heavy duty degreasers. it can be used as cold or hot water pressure wash in conjuction with steam cleaning

Best benefits:

Since Epochem 502 heavy duty degreaser is a water based degreaser and presents no problem to use during hot works or heating the solution and then spraying it on where those application of hot work is desired, hence no danger of fire due to the our cleaning composition.

In practice Epochem 502 heavy duty degreaser is superior to conventional cleaning agents because its unique formulation makes a less amount or lower concentration of epochem 502 heavy duty degreaser and cleaner may achieve better result than other commercially available cleaners.

Directions for use:

Epochem 502 heavy duty degreaser and industrial cleaner may be used as supplied or diluted with up to 20 parts of water

apply to parts to be degreased, allow for penetration and wait for 10 minutes and wash off with water

Oil and Gas Companies Adopting smart fields to Reduce Opex

October 23, 2015 by Tech News team

Many oil and gas companies adopting smart fields, they are turning to data in order to maker their assets more efficient and consequently reduce operational costs. they also do so by learning how to integrate and manage information about ways to improve production, the idea is that these fields will comply with ever-increasing regulations while enhancing their output and profitability.

Smart fields are not exactly new. An IBM study about the value of smarter oil and gas fields cited information about the data-driven land from 2002. However, as technology evolves and more information is collected, the need to keep evolving and improving smart fields is a top priority for industry leaders.

To gain a greater understanding of what value smart fields can have for oil and gas companies, it is important to know how businesses are utilizing their assets to make improvements.

One of the most important reasons smart fields are needed is to deal with changing environmental regulations. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently mandated changes that will cut carbon emissions from the power sector by 30 percent compared to 2005 levels. However, the need for those resources continues to rise. Natural gas consumption has increased in the U.S. every year since 2009, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Smart fields can monitor what a company is producing, as well as evaluate the environmental output of its work. By installing monitors and other equipment within an oil and gas field, a business is able to collect data, which moving forward can measure the efficiency and proficiency of the work. It also can evaluate the different variables that play a role in oil and gas production in real time, Oil & Gas Production News stated. Additionally, by looking over information from both onshore and offshore facilities, a business can understand what changes need to be made to improve efficiency.

Information Helps Production

The data collected from oil and gas fields allows decision makers to plan ahead and be proactive. By forecasting the performance of various systems and facilities, a business can have a more accurate understanding of what its production will be. Smart fields allow managers to guage the field’s performance, thanks to in-depth reporting measures, improved forecasting and faster responses, the IBM study stated.

When data software is running at its peak, and managers are able to have full insight to the value and production of the fields, asset optimization can be achieved. With more information available to be shared, machines can collaborate and workflows are improved. Assets working to their highest capabilities give an oil or gas company the ability to make smarter decisions to improve the production of its fields and forecast new initiatives accordingly.

As the industry continues to evolve, smart fields will become even more important for oil and gas businesses. Staying on top of constantly changing government regulations and understanding how information can improve output will help businesses operate smarter and improve profits in both the short and long term.
