Process water is water that a facility uses to make a product, and it often needs filtration, treatment, and separate piping from the drinking supply. The design depends entirely on what the process demands.
The quality
A brewery, a plating shop, and a food plant each need different water quality, from softened to deionized to filtered, and the treatment is built into the plumbing.
The separation
Process lines are usually kept separate from potable lines and marked clearly, with backflow prevention where they connect.
The flow
The pipes and pumps are sized for the process's peak demand, not for a typical building, so the flow can be far higher.
The waste
What goes in must come out, so the process drain and any treatment of the waste are part of the same design. In Frederick, discharge rules can be strict.
The documentation
Process water systems need clear labeling and up-to-date drawings. In an emergency, knowing which line is which saves time and mistakes.
