Industrial water treatment technologies and filtering procedures are necessary to remove contaminants from these freshwater sources before use. Industrial wastewater is the result of substances that having been dissolved or suspended in water. The objective of the industrial wastewater treatment equipment is to remove those dissolved or suspended substances. The industrial water treatment equipment must be designed specifically for the effluent produced. Various contaminants like waste matter,bacteria, algae, and germs, as well as waste generated by various industries, lead to an increase in the water contamination. The rise in industrialization also contributes to the growth of the market, owing to the increased demand for recycling the water to mitigate the contamination by these industries. The exhaustion of natural freshwater resources increases the need to recycle and reuse water through the implementation of various water treatment techniques. Water quality has been the most important parameter for most of the industries. Industries utilize huge volumes of water for various processes. Most of the industries worldwide have installed a water treatment setup to mitigate the ill-effects of contaminated water, lower operating costs, and reduce environmental footprints. Rapid industrialization and high dependence on clean water are the major drivers for water treatment equipment in the industries.

Hydrocephalus is the abnormal accumulation of CSF within the brain cavities called ventricles (space near the spine). It occurs due to an imbalance in the formation and absorption rate of the fluid. This results in ventricle enlargement and increasedpressure inside the head.CSF produced in the ventricles is circulated throughout the body through ventricular system into the subarachnoid space that is absorbed into the venous system or the bloodstream. CSF production is approximately 0.2 ml/min to 0.4 ml/min or 500 ml to 600ml per day.
