Water Softener recently installed by SCI
September 26, 2013

Sparkling Clear Industries (SCI) recently installed a water softener for a critical application in a Gulf Coast area chemical plant salt dome operation. This duplex alternating system supplies scale free and soft water to protect and lubricate brine pump seals. 

 

A NEMA 4X enclosure contains the  3200NXT controller and respective stager. The controller will display Service, Standby or Regeneration steps. The softener will operate as a duplex alternating system with lockout to prevent the simultaneous regeneration of the two softeners.

A single Hall Effect flow sensor will monitor the effluent flow in a common header. The NEMA 4X enclosure will also contain a Signet Model 8550 flow transmitter with local display and 4-20 mA output.

Differential Pressure Monitoring  is also included  with programmable set points and 4-20 mA output.

The face piping for this system includes SS316 threaded ball valves with air actuated operators, schedule 80 SS316 pipe and SS316 3000# threaded fittings, conforming to the customers specifications.

A Polyethylene Bulk Brine Storage Tank with a 10,000 Gallon Capacity completes the system.

The project was managed by the SCI office located in Clute,Texas. The excellent working relationship between the customer and SCI resulted in a project that met the customer’s requirements and was on-time. For more information, contact us today.

Industrial Filtration Rental Equipment: Supporting Increased Production on the Houston Ship Channel

February 24, 2026
Production demands can change quickly, especially in chemical manufacturing. Recently, one of our customers on the Houston Ship Channel reached out with an urgent need for increased liquid filtration capacity. Their facility required a multi-round bag filter housing to support higher production rates. Because we maintain rental equipment at our Clute facility, we were able to respond quickly. The 12-round bag filter housing was loaded onto our truck Friday morning and delivered to their facility that same afternoon, helping them move forward without delay. No extended lead times. No waiting on freight. No production bottleneck.
