A Closer Look into the Industry

How many careers can you think of that are rewarding, virtually recession proof, and give you exclusive behind-the-scenes access to a variety of fascinating locations? How about careers that also offer multiple options for personal advancement, a supportive employer, and opportunities to improve the environment? There certainly aren’t many, but here is one that might surprise you — industrial water treatment. Water is the lifeblood of many, if not most, facilities and the literal life blood of society; no one can survive without water. Let’s take a closer look at what industrial water treatment is, why it is important, and why you should consider a career in this vital, dynamic industry.

 

What is Industrial Water Treatment?

There are many uses for water beyond drinking and bathing; industrial operations, manufacturing, educational institutions, healthcare, and many other vital applications which all require treated water to function, including returning this water to the environment.  Using water in these applications has its challenges, such as inefficient use, waste, corrosion, scale, microbiological activity, contamination, and safety to name a few.  Industrial water treatment professionals help industrial, institutional, and commercial users manage their water-related assets to save money, energy, and time.

 

Why Pursue a Career in Industrial Water Treatment?

For both economic and personal reasons, industrial water treatment is an attractive career choice for many kinds of people.

 

Economics:

Whether for drinking, farming, or manufacturing we cannot survive without water. There will always be a demand, which makes industrial water treatment a comparatively stable, recession-resistant industry. This is an important factor to consider with all of the financial and job market fluctuations the U.S. has seen over the past 10 years.

 

Environmental Responsibility:

Working in industrial water treatment gives you the opportunity to directly impact the environment by reducing water pollution, energy usage, water consumption, and greenhouse gases. It also helps to prevent the spread of microbiological disease that can be found in some industrial waters.

 

Social Impact:
