When you are running an industrial water softener, there are a variety of supplies and systems you must manage to ensure you are producing the purest water possible. Besco Commercial’s brine salt systems are specifically designed to support the ultra-pure water systems you need to keep your business running efficiently.
Our Brine-Tek™ and Dual-Tek™ solutions are engineered to handle the rigorous demands of industrial salt storage, providing a reliable and consistent supply of saturated brine for water softening, food processing, and chemical applications. By combining advanced fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) construction with integrated automation, we provide turn-key systems that reduce maintenance costs while ensuring environmental compliance and operator safety.
Brine-Tek™ Downflow Brinemakers
Besco Commercial provides Brine-Tek™ systems that utilize a proven downflow design to ensure consistent brine saturation. These systems are a complete, turn-key solution for your salt storage and brine making needs, featuring a full 2-year factory warranty.
Why choose a Brine-Tek™ Downflow system?
- Consistent Saturation: As influent water rises, the higher-density brine sinks, ensuring a fully saturated solution.
- Easy Maintenance: Sludge accumulates at the bottom for simple removal and allows for desalinization via backwash leaching.
- Safety Access: Systems include 24″ I.D. side and top manways for cleaning, inspection, and emergency venting.
- Weather Resistance: Optional “Cool Weather Protection” packages include polyfoam insulation and 500-watt heat panels.
Dual-Tek™ Double Wall Tanks
For facilities requiring the highest level of environmental safety, Besco offers Dual-Tek™ double wall tanks. This is the only design in process storage that offers the advantages of double wall containment without compromising the flexibility of your system’s plumbing.
Standard Features:
- 100% Composite Construction: Built with Reinforced Thermoset Plastics (RTP) for maximum durability.
- Flexible Fitting Placement: Unlike standard tanks that require top-only installation, Dual-Tek™ allows you to specify fitting locations anywhere on the tank.
- Industry Standards: All tanks are constructed to meet ASTM D-3299 or ASTM D-4097 standards.
- Space-Saving Design: Provides 100% secondary containment within a compact footprint.
FRP Double Wall Tank Leak Detection
To protect your facility from catastrophic failure, our double wall tanks feature an exclusive leak detection system that provides early warning of any inner-wall compromise.
System Highlights:
- Proprietary Channeling: A specialized material between the inner and outer walls directs leaking liquid immediately to a sensor.
- Strobe Alert Alarm: Features a high-visibility strobe that flashes when a leak is detected, bringing immediate visual attention to the issue.
- Intrinsically Safe: Utilizes CSA-approved ultrasonic level switches (Switch-Tek™ LU10) designed for hazardous and corrosive environments.
- Control & Alarm: When paired with a Switch-Pro™ LC1X compact level switch controller, the system provides relay control and optional visual alarm indication in a NEMA 4X enclosure.
- Remote Monitoring: Systems can be connected to a PLC or a dedicated relay controller for automated shutdown and reporting.
2XTC Microprocessor Heating Controls
For temperature-sensitive brine applications, Besco provides the 2XTC Tank Heating Controller—the most versatile microprocessor-based controller for freeze protection and process maintenance.
Controller Features:
- Multi-Heater Management: Control up to 6 heating pads or self-regulating cables simultaneously.
- Integrated Safety: Features process temperature control with high-limit protection and low-current alarms to detect heater failure.
- Digital Interface: High-visibility LED display shows real-time process temperature and system status.
- Rugged Construction: Housed in a NEMA 4X (IP66) polycarbonate enclosure, designed for harsh industrial environments.
- Communication: Includes 4-20mA retransmission outputs and alarm contacts for seamless integration with your building management system.
