Intelligent Filtration for Industry

Reliable water treatment – the foundation of stable production. Bregus has developed high-performance iBregus PRO water treatment systems for industrial enterprises and production facilities with technological processes. Our solutions ensure water quality that meets the requirements of the most demanding production processes.

Why is water quality critical for industry?

Water is not simply a component of the technological process, but a factor that influences product quality, equipment lifespan and economic efficiency of production.

Consequences of using untreated water:

For technological processes:

• Disruption of production parameters due to unstable water quality
• Product defects due to impurities in water
• Increased raw material costs due to poor water quality
• Reduced quality of finished products
• Non-compliance of products with standards
• Customer complaints

For equipment:

• Scale formation on heat exchange equipment (30-50% efficiency reduction)
• Corrosion of metal surfaces
• Blockage of nozzles, sprayers, valves
• Premature failure of pumps and other equipment
• Expensive repairs and production downtime
• Shortened maintenance intervals

For enterprise economics:

• Increased energy costs (up to 40% due to scale)
• High repair and maintenance costs
• Losses from production downtime
• Additional costs for chemical reagents
• Reduced product competitiveness
