and service provider of industrial water systems located in ancaster ontario . 1 established in 1952 anderson specializes in ion exchange and provides custom solutions for reverse osmosis edi degasification clarification filtration nano ultra for a variety of applications and industries with more than 3000 installations in over 40 countries . 2 having been acquired by degr mont in 2000 anderson operates under the brand name suez treatment solutions . contents 1 history 2 major projects 3 products 4 services 5 references 6 external links history edit three partners created the j.w. anderson company in dundas ontario in 1952 to serve domestic demand for water softening equipment . in 1965 anderson expanded into the industrial water treatment market . installations through the 1960s and 70 s were used by various industries such as food & beverage pulp & paper chemical power generation and pharmaceutical . from this experience in 1974 anderson became the first canadian distributor for dupont membranes . in the early 1980s anderson pioneered the split flow counter current ion exchange process while expanding into the united states market . five officers of the j.w. anderson company bought it out in 1985 forming anderson water systems limited 2 which saw continued growth driven by projects in oil and petrochemical . during the early 1990s anderson secured major contracts in southeast asia supplying systems to indonesia singapore china and thailand . from 1995 onward anderson continued to expand its presence internationally with installations in south america australia russia and the middle east . degr mont acquired anderson on may 10 2000 ; making it a subsidiary of suez environnement the parent company of the degr mont water treatment company . 2 in february 2013 anderson consolidated four production and office locations into a new facility in ancaster ontario . 2 anderson remains active with projects in the americas middle east asia and africa . major projects edit 1977 anderson builds the first large reverse osmosis in canada a 450 gpm system for saskpower in saskatchewan . 1978 first significant contract in asia with the korea electric power corporation . 1983 supplied bp resources with ion exchange equipment for one of the earliest commercial sagd systems in the alberta oil sands . 1995 design build highly customized two tiered 24 foot 7.3 m tall super skid for kodak with on the fly acid neutralization . 2002 began multi phase oil sands sagd expansion for cenovus energy formerly encana and conocophillips in alberta . 2007 installed system for a supercritical coal power boiler in north america . 2013 multi phase deionization system for a chemical plant in africa . products edit each product is customized to suit the applications and specifications of the customer . brine ion exchange systems remove impurities such as calcium magnesium strontium and barium and maintain brine quality in the chlor alkali cycle . modular designs and custom skids have flow rates of 50 to 2000 m3 h. chemical injection skids provide reagents into system to maintain standard operation conditions in a treatment cycle . chemical regeneration skids regenerate ion exchange resins effectively and efficiently to maintain operations . condensate polisher systems economically maintains quality of water by removing impurities from return condensate and protects other systems from deposit formation . decarbonators removes co2 from feed water . electro deionisation edi systems primarily used for ro permeate polishing and is widely used as a final polisher replacing traditional ion exchange units which required chemical regeneration . it also has a high rejection of soluble ionic load . industrial control systems ics programmable logic controllers plc are integrated into every system to facilitate automatic system operation and maintenance along with a human machine interface hmi or supervisory control and data acquisition scada for operator ease of use and remote monitoring . media pressure skids utilize specific materials to remove certain constituents from water such as iron manganese free chlorine organic matter and suspended solids . this maximizes the ion exchange and or membrane performance that follow in the system . nanofiltration mainly utilized for producing softened water for industry or potable water from a brackish source . this semi permeable membrane can operate at reduced operating pressures as compared to reverse osmosis . reverse osmosis ro traditionally used for reducing total dissolved solids in water from sea water or brackish water sources . now more applications have developed for heavy industry and power generating who require high quality water . membrane developments have improved filtration at reduced operating pressures which has resulted in ro becoming an economical technology for soluble ion removal . steam assisted gravity drainage sagd used in the oil sands sagd brings together many products to provide easier low impact oil extraction with flows ranging from 50 to 5 000 m3 h 220 gpm to 22 000 gpm . 3 ultrafiltration skids produces very low turbidity water used in industry with membranes that have a pore size of 0.01 m which can economically remove colloidal matter that would normally foul a microfiltration system . vacuum degassers used to remove oxygen carbon dioxide and nitrogen from water down to part per billion levels . this is part of the final polishing stage to produce ultra high purity water . services edit anderson provides a range of services for industrial water systems . commissioning startup troubleshoot optimize and validate output of a new installation . media supply all types of filtration media from simple gravel to resin of any specification . maintenance provide routine maintenance to remove buildup or take preventative measures to ensure uptime . parts source replacement parts or design build customized items for any water system . retrofits create customized upgrades and add ons to augment system capacity while maintaining operations . site audit inspect an existing system and provide recommendations to improve output quality reliability or meet current regulatory requirements . references edit anderson ancaster location a b c d brands anderson water systems sagd produced &
