AdEdge Water Technologies engineered water treatment and filtration systems

ChartWater AdEdge Water Technologies engineering footprint

AdEdge Water Technologies was founded in North America and became an integral pillar of ChartWater within the global Baker Hughes and Chart Industries industrial network. The business operates specialized engineering facilities, analytic pilot testing laboratories, and skid fabrication shops.

Manufacturing procedures adhere to ASME pressure vessel rules, NSF/ANSI water standards, and ISO quality management guidelines.

Engineering capabilities encompass pressurized contact vessels, degasifiers, filtration skids, and automated telemetry systems serving municipal utilities and industrial factories.

Bayoxide E33 granular ferric oxide adsorption technology for arsenic

AdEdge dearsenization installations leverage dry granular ferric oxide Bayoxide E33 media, recognized as an international benchmark for selective arsenic removal.

The high porous surface captures trivalent and pentavalent arsenic compounds directly without requiring chemical pre-oxidation or liquid flocculant injection.

Skids utilize multi-column vessel arrangements configured in parallel or lead-lag flow sequences. Integrated hydraulic balancing valves, automatic air vents, and sample taps maintain stable superficial fluid velocities, reducing arsenic concentrations well below strict environmental health limits.

H2Zero backwash recycling platforms and closed-loop conservation

To mitigate wastewater generation and protect ground reservoirs, AdEdge engineered the H2Zero Backwash Recycle platform.

The technology captures rinse streams from arsenic, iron, and manganese filtration lines, providing primary sedimentation, clarification, and pump return into the main facility influent.

Achieving recovery efficiencies exceeding 99.7 percent, H2Zero enables a closed hydraulic loop and halts slurry discharge to sewers.

The module incorporates chemical dosing assemblies, inclined plate clarifiers, and automatic filter presses to compress solids into dry mineral cakes ready for safe transport.

Catalytic oxidation and filtration with proprietary AD26 media

For deep elimination of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide, AdEdge provides high-density catalytic filtration media including AD26, AD26L, and ADGS+.

Rather than employing messy potassium permanganate feeds, the catalytic granules facilitate rapid contaminant oxidation through standard in-line sodium hypochlorite injection.

The durable mineral matrix withstands hydraulic attrition and accommodates elevated filtration flux rates. Systems feature multi-port automatic backwash valves that regularly fluidize the bed without media migration, preserving low headloss across continuous operational filtration runs.

Selective ion exchange systems for radium and uranium uptake

Isolating natural radioactive isotopes from deep aquifer wells is accomplished with specialized AdEdge ion exchange resins AD88, AD88-S, and AD92.

The AD88 formulations selectively sequester radium isotopes, while AD92 exhibits strong selectivity for anionic uranyl-carbonate complexes in high-salinity streams.

Systems operate as ASME code pressure vessels arranged for brine regeneration or as sacrificial throwaway cartridge modules designed for secure radioactive waste disposal. Automated totalizers monitor throughput and alert operating staff before bed breakthrough thresholds occur.

Engineered replacement parts protocol based on plant nameplate data

Accurate identification of replacement multiport valves, analytical transmitters, media charges, and internal lateral assemblies requires the unit serial number stamped on the vessel metal nameplate, along with the process flow diagram drawing reference.

Engineering personnel identify factory part numbers for hub distributors, diaphragm actuators, ejectors, and differential pressure gauges within factory production files. Operators receive detailed specifications and safety guidelines for installation by qualified plant maintenance teams.
