DESCRIPTION:
Very good and practical operation manual Fermin Lopez Unzu Due to our geographical location and climate, in Spain we suffer severe water scarcity and an irregular, unpredictable climate that even reaches desertification in some areas. Therefore we have been dealing water availability with coordinated actions covering surface and subsurface water resources management, water sanitation, water treatment, desalination and reuse.That means to invest heavily in hydraulic infrastructures which are meant to ensure the necessary water resources, regardless of the weather conditions. Over the last years, desalination has been one of our main investment progr. "Desalination Engineering" In "Desalination Engineering" Mr Voutchkov generously shares his many years of experience in the industry, to create a practical book that is suitable for both seasoned practitioners and newcomers to the desalination industry. The book provides practical guidance that is useful for day-to-day plant operation and facility optimization, and presents the information in a manner that is clear and easy to follow and implement. The book is not limited to any particular aspect of desalination plant operations, but rather covers all key aspects and encompasses treatment facilities most commonly use. Tom Ransome said A must-have for any desalination or reverse osmosis plant. This volume is a must-have for any desalination or reverse osmosis (RO) plant.From my perspective as Operations Manager of a large scale desalination plant, this eagerly awaited reference text is an important tool for industry and of practical use in all technical aspects of operational activities, from training to process troubleshooting and equipment maintenance. It encompasses the full range of variability in RO plant design and therefore has applicability across industry while complementing its predecessor "Desalination Engineering: Planning and Design".Voutchkov continues to be a key c
Real-world examples illustrating the latest technologies and their practical implementation are included throughout this authoritative resource.Desalination Engineering covers: Source water open and subsurface intakes Source water pretreatment -- chemical conditioning, dissolved air flotation clarifiers, and granular media, membrane, and cartridge filters Reverse osmosis system operation Reverse osmosis system troubleshooting Post-treatment -- lime and carbon dioxide, calcite conditioning, remineralization, and disinfection Desalination plant discharge management Equipment maintenance -- pumps, air blowers, motors, bearings, valves, mechanical seals, mechanical drives, chemical feed systems, automatic samplers. Best practices for maintaining plant equipment are also p
