Custom Engineered Industrial Water Treatment Systems
WATER SYSTEMS CONSULTING & SERVICE
Water Purification Systems, Including Deionizers, Ion Exchange, Reverse Osmosis, Ultrafiltration And Microfiltration, Retrofit Of Existing Equipment With Controls & Manifolds
C. Emery Nelson, Inc represents manufacturers of water treatment… equipment including Reverse Osmosis (RO), Filters, Ion Exchange systems - Mixed Bed Deionizers, two bed Deionizers, Softeners, and EDI. These systems are custom engineered to your requirements.
For the industrial markets that need purified water, we represent manufacturers that offer a wide range of water treatment equipment. We combine the right water treatment technologies to meet the water quality standards of your industrial process. Some of the most popular systems that our manufacturers design and build are:
- Demineralization (multi-bed, mixed bed, packed bed, electro-deionization, condensate polishing)
- Softening; Filtration (multi-media, carbon, greensand, cartridge);
- Membrane Systems (reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, microfiltration);
- Degasification (forced draft, vacuum, membrane)
We make certain the most economical combination of equipment is provided.
Since the 1940’s, commercial ion exchange resins have been successfully applied to water treatment and other industrial processes. We have decades of experience in ion exchange, and we understand how variables in liquid treatment will affect ion exchange operation and performance. Our industrial experience with a full range of water, wastewater recovery and process systems will help us select the right membrane type and system for your needs the first time.
We offer Standard Reverse Osmosis Systems up to 400 GPM. Pre-engineered for general and industrial applications. Skid mounted, pre-piped and wired for quick installation. Membrane elements factory loaded for immediate start-up.
We also offer electro-deionization for producing Ultrapure water. The EDI unit uses ion-exchange membranes and resins with electric current to remove dissolved salts from water. EDI does not require chemical regeneration, but it is limited to applications where the dissolved salt is small compared to the salt concentration contained in natural water supplies. The typical EDI application treats water that has been partially demineralized by reverse osmosis. Ultrapure water, in excess of 16 Mohm/cm and which has been depleted of ions, flows out of the chamber as a result of this process.
C. Emery Nelson provides turn-key, integrated solutions, tailored to fit the specific needs of each customer. In other words, “We put the pieces together, so you don't have to.” As a provider of products and systems, we act as an integrator of key technologies in the Process and Industrial markets. We have the resources to utilize a variety of technologies when treating water, process or wastewater issues, allowing us to develop a creative, cost effective solution to fit your needs.

Over-Pressure Protection With Rupture Diska, Disk Holders And Vent Panels
Pressure relief Rupture disks - OSECO Rupture Disks and overpressure protection equipment.
Purposes of Rupture Disks
A rupture disk is a sensitive relief device designed to rupture at a pre-determined pressure and temperature. It is a means of providing protection for personnel and equipment. As such, it must be a fail-safe device. Rupture disks are used where instantaneous and full opening of a pressure relief device is required. These devices are also utilized where “zero” leak-age is required of a relief device. These devices can also be used in series as “quick opening” valves.
Rupture disks may be used either in primary relief, in secondary relief, in series with a relief valve, or for other functions like “quick opening” valves.
The earliest disk designs, in the 1930’s, consisted of a flat sheet of metal, commonly copper, clamped between a pair of piping flanges. It soon became apparent that the operating pressure caused bulging and stretching of the metal, resulting in premature failure at only 30% to 50% of the disk rating. Leakage between flat seat disk and flange was also a problem.
It was soon discovered that if disks were pre-bulged, they could operate at pressures of 50% to 70% of the disk rating. With the introduction of more suitable metals, such as aluminum, nickel, stainless steel, Monel, and Inconel, pre-bulged disks were developed that could be operated reliably at 70% of their rated pressure at a specified operating temperature.
Purposes of Rupture Panels
A rupture panel is a composite type pressure relief device designed to rupture at a predetermined pressure and temperature in accordance with the guidelines of the National Fire Protection Agency Bulletin No. 68. This device is a means of providing protection for personnel and property from deflagrations. This pressure relief device does not provide protection when an explosion occurs. The defining difference between a deflagration and an explosion is the fact that in a deflagration, the flame front has not achieved sonic velocity.
Rupture panels are used to protect pulverized coal ducts at electrical power generating plants, bag house filter installations on atmospheric exhaust discharges from processing plants, chemical or food processing buildings where explosive dusts can accumulate as well as those applications involving combustible gases or vapors within a confined space. These pressure relief devices are normally installed between simple structural angles or plates with sufficient bolting and gaskets to achieve a pressure seal sufficient to activate this pressure relief device.
History and Background of Rupture Panels
Bursting of duct work and associated equipment became a serious problem for applications dealing with combustible dusts and gases during the modernization of electrical power plants starting in the late 1970’s to the early 1980’s. Rupture panels were developed to address this problem. The initial configuration for these pressure relief devices was flat, rectangular or circular, three piece construction, i.e., metal membrane, fluorocarbon pressure seal membrane, metal membrane. The flat rupture panel has the same operating to burst pressure limits as any flat composite rupture disk, i.e., fifty (50) percent. Although the lower pressures achievable with rupture panels is attractive to plant operators, the lower operating limit is not. This disadvantage led to the evolution of a domed or crowned rupture panel.
The domed or crowned rupture panel is capable of operating at seventy (70) percent of the bursting pressure or higher depending on the design. This design innovation has gained wide acceptance from plant operators due to the improved operating features. All OSECO rupture panels are available with a burst sensor, SVT-03.
How to Select a Rupture Disk Type
The following steps can be used as a guide to select the proper type of rupture disk. List as much of the information below as is available. All items should be specified if possible:
- Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of the vessel or system
- Maximum operating pressure
- Maximum temperature at the disk location
- Desired rupture disk burst pressure and temperature
- Backpressure or vacuum conditions, if any
- Media: liquid or gas, corrosion characteristics
- Static, cyclic or pulsating operation
- Code requirements, i.e., ASME, ISO, BP, API, etc.
- Any other special conditions.
