Opis

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is the dominant desalination process worldwide for obtaining fresh water from the sea. The subject matter and scope of this book is the conceptual and advanced planning, design and engineering of plants of this desalination process together with the associated facilities for seawater pretreatment, post-treatment of the product water, wastewater treatment, seawater extraction and plant discharge.The book is intended to be used by technicians, engineers, economists and ecologists in the planning, design and operation of SWRO plants, as an educational and training tool, as well as an aid in environmental licensing of membrane desalination plants, and by interested laypersons for information about this process.The two volumes are also available as a set.

O autorze

Heinz Ludwig, the author gained his professional expertise during more than five decades of business activities as design and commissioning engineer, project manager, project director as well as senior engineer, lead engineer and expert for seawater desalination technologies, environmental protection and treatment of process water, drinking water and waste water. In his more than 30 years of professional activity in desalination consultancy and engineering he was involved in a multitude of worldwide projects of brackish water and seawater desalination with thermal processes and membrane technology and provided consultancy in all fields of engineering and implementation of desalination plants and their associated process-related systems and components.

In appreciation of his many years of international activity in the planning and design of seawater desalination plants, Global Water Intelligence GWI honoured him with the Jim Stewart Lifetime Achievement Award. The award was presented to him at the Global Water Summit 2011 in Berlin by Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations.

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is the dominant desalination process worldwide for obtaining fresh water from the sea. The subject matter and scope of this book is the conceptual and advanced planning, design and engineering of plants of this desalination process together with the associated facilities for seawater pretreatment, post-treatment of the product water, wastewater treatment, seawater extraction and plant discharge.

Volume 2 of this book covers

• Design of the pretreatment and post-treatment processes as well as of the sea water extraction and outfall systems of SWRO - explanation of the basic principles and design approaches and their application in the practical dimensioning of the units
• Description of the wastewater treatment facilities of an SWRO and their design
  
• Liquid and solid residues of SWRO, their amount and environmental aspects and regulations of their discharge and  disposal and possibilities of their recovery and reuse
  
• Material selection for the SWRO components
  
• Description of the control systems of an SWRO and their interaction with manual sampling and analysis for operation control of the plant
  
• Determination of specific energy consumption of an SWRO and the influence of design and plant operation on its optimisation
  
• Contractual structures and economic aspects of planning and implementation an SWRO, calculation of  the capital, operating and water production costs of the plant
  

The book is intended to be used by technicians, engineers, economists and ecologists as a working tool in the planning, design and operation of reverse osmosis desalination plants and by students and teachers as an introduction to this subject, as well as by employees of environmental authorities as an aid in environmental licensing of membrane desalination plants and by interested laypersons for information about this process.
