Guides

Water treatment guides for South African plants

Straight answers to the questions plant managers, engineers and procurement teams ask before they commit to a water treatment supplier, a programme or a plant — written by the Prosep technical team.

Each guide opens with a direct answer and a short summary, then works through the detail. Every fact in them comes from the way Prosep already works on site — the same method, the same programmes and the same results set out across this website.

Three guides

Start with the question you are asking.

Each opens with the situation it fits, so you can go straight to the one that reads like your own site.

Buying

How to choose an industrial water treatment company in South Africa

Read this if you are comparing suppliers, or about to change yours.

What to ask a supplier, what a site assessment should include, how pricing should work, the proof worth asking for, and the red flags.

Programmes

Chemical supplier or water treatment programme: what is the difference?

Read this if results vary even though the chemical has not changed.

Dosing to measured residuals, on-site monitoring, written reporting and who is accountable when the water goes wrong.

Process water

Reverse osmosis, softening or filtration: which does your process need?

Read this if you are deciding how to treat process or boiler feedwater.

What each treatment removes, where each is used, where each stops — compared in one table.

Have a question the guides do not answer?

Ask us about your plant. A consultative conversation or a site assessment is the natural first step — not a price quote.
