Zero Downtime, Maximum Results: How SCI Kept This Bleach Manufacturer Running
March 17, 2025
When a bleach manufacturer faced potential downtime due to a corroded water softener system, Sparkling Clear Industries stepped in with a fast and effective solution. By providing a rental unit during installation and delivering a custom-built system designed for better durability and efficiency, we ensured zero production downtime and exceeded customer expectations.
The Challenge
A bleach manufacturer in Houston, TX faced a significant challenge when their aging steel water softener system began failing due to corrosion. The atmospheric conditions in the facility had eroded the steel tanks, causing leaks and reducing their production capacity. Because soft water is essential for bleach production, the manufacturer needed a solution that would restore full functionality without disrupting their operations.
Our Solution
Sparkling Clear Industries stepped in to provide a comprehensive solution. We supplied a new twin alternating 37 cu/ft water softener with fiberglass vessels and a fiberglass skid. This system was equipped with a PVC face pipe assembly, NXT controllers, and a HACH hardness monitor. The entire system was fully skid-mounted and pre-piped upon arrival to minimize field installation time.
To ensure uninterrupted production while the new system was being built and delivered, we provided a rental water softener. This kept their operations running around the clock without downtime.
Why Fiberglass?
Fiberglass vessels and skids were chosen for their superior chemical compatibility, ensuring the new system could withstand the facility's environmental conditions far better than traditional steel.
Uninterrupted Service
During installation, our team strategically positioned the rental system to maintain continuous soft water availability. Once the new unit was ready, a simple valve switch ensured seamless integration without any production downtime.
Enhanced Efficiency
As part of the custom design, we incorporated a brine reclaim system that reduces salt consumption by up to 20%, delivering long-term cost savings and improved efficiency.
Results
While it's still early for measurable performance data, the customer has reported excellent results with consistently high-quality soft water. Their team expressed satisfaction with the new unit and praised Sparkling Clear Industries for exceeding their expectations.
Conclusion
By combining a thoughtful interim solution with a durable and efficient permanent system, Sparkling Clear Industries ensured this bleach manufacturer maintained peak production without disruption. Our commitment to finding practical, effective solutions kept their business running smoothly with zero downtime.
