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.

Before investing in a full-scale water treatment system, there’s an important question to answer: How will the proposed process work with your water? Sparkling Clear Industries’ feature in the November/December 2026 issue of BIC Magazine explores that question through a project with Gulf Coast Modification. Written by SCI’s Danny Roznovsky, the article highlights a proof-of-concept approach to a complex hydrotest water application.  For this project, the starting point was understanding how a treatment process could address several water-quality challenges together.
