Epoxy Oilserv Nigeria is commissioning a new water treatment plant. The plant will enable the producer of demineralised and distilled water for industrial use to double its production in Nigeria.
Epoxy Oilserv can now increase its production of demineralised water in Nigeria. This is thanks to a new plant recently inaugurated by the Nigerian company’s management. The prefabricated plant will enable Epoxy Oilserv to produce at least 240m3 of water per day to meet the needs of various industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics, energy, food processing, etc.
The plant will supply demineralised and distilled water. This is ultra-pure water of IP quality, because it is free of almost all mineral ions such as cations like sodium, calcium, iron and copper, and anions like chloride and sulphate,” explains Roselyn Nwachukwu, a chemist at Epoxy Oilserv.

In the pharmaceutical industry in particular, demineralised water will be used to prepare culture media, aqueous solutions and to wash containers and equipment. Demineralised water is also used as a raw material, ingredient and solvent in the processing, formulation and manufacture of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and intermediates, collection items and analytical reagents.
In industrial facilities, demineralised water will facilitate wastewater recovery, add efficiency and extend the life of boilers and steam processes. Epoxy Oilserv is collaborating with GZ Industrial Supplies, a supplier of industrial materials in Nigeria.
