CP eHandbook: Widen Your Perspectives on Wastewater

2014-06-25 14:56:00| Chemical Processing

Treating and reusing process water is a multidimensional challenge for process plants. Compliance with regulatory requirements to prevent and mitigate industrial pollution can require significant capital investment as well as ongoing maintenance outlays. The increasing scarcity and cost of fresh water for production processes also compounds the problem. In this Chemical Processing Wastewater eHandbook we take a look at how to widen your perspective on wastewater including: Optimizing water cleanup with activated carbon - including a few pointers to make the most of absorption systems Improving plant performance with solids/turbidity monitoring - how continuous monitoring in the liquid processes stages of a wastewater treatment plant offers important benefits How to solve partially filled pipe flow measurement challenges How variable frequency drives can reduce installation and programming costs while providing a host of other benefits Download your copy of this Chemical Processing Water Wastewater eHandbook now.
