Abstract
Abstract Given there is development of state-of-the art technologies in the field of water treatment and the demanding requirements for environmental control, as well as trends in the cost increase of chemicals and usage costs of primary resources, it deemed necessary to modernize the water treatment and water purification systems in such a way as: firstly, to minimize discharges as such; secondly, to increase the degree of use of circulating water; thirdly, using modern non-reagent cleaning technologies to minimize the consumption of necessary chemical agents, which has a complex effect – both in merely economic terms (procurement, transportation, storage, movement and control), and from a practical perspective – increasing the environmental safety of production, area release, etc.
