Use of industrial condensate as water source
Jun 12^th, 2002, 3:44pm

Is anyone familiar with any successful use of condensate from industry being used by a water supplier as a source to be treated and then sold on the retail market for human consumption?

For instance, large food manufacturing operations can generates tens (and in some cases hundreds) of thousands of gallons of condensate per day - rather than being discarded, can it be sold to a water supply company or local bottler?

Any insight would be greatly appriciated.

Condensed steam is essentially what is used in several middle eastern countries as their sole source of water. The steam is the result of evaporating sea-water under controlled conditions. This is where any potential problem will come from the use of steam from industrial processes. It would need to be absolutely free from any industrial product contamination and then subjected adequate treatment processes. It's technically possible, but but needs to be studied economically.
