What are the Criteria of Water Desalination? Water plays an indispensable role in an individual's life and is almost used in every activity we do in our daily routines. It engulfs nearly 71% of our planet; still, we have only 1% of it to use for our daily chores. This is why it becomes important to treat water. Various technologies and techniques can do water treatment. However, this article will discuss desalination and know which technology is used for low energy desalination . What is Desalination? Desalination is a technology that takes away mineral components from salty water. If we talk about it in layman's language, salts and minerals are removed from a targeted substance. For instance, seawater which is highly concentrated with salts, is desalinated to produce water suitable for irrigation or human consumption. The result of this desalination is that the byproduct of the process is brine ( a highly concentrated solution of salt in water). In contrast to brine, the other...

Why is Oil & Gas wastewater treatment necessary?

What is the zero liquid discharge process"

Image
The cooling water system is the major wastewater generator throughout most power plants. Spontaneous evaporation of refrigeration system blowdown from holding ponds has traditionally been highly successful, notably in the western United States. The waste liquid disposal method is a straightforward yet successful instance of a zero liquid discharge (ZLD) system. The disadvantage is that the water is forever destroyed from the mechanism due to natural evaporation, and the leftover waste must be cleansed from the pond regularly. Although cooling system blowdown is typically just under 10,000 mg/L total dissolving solids (TDS), membrane filtration (RO) membranes are frequently used to or before the liquid before concentrating it in evaporation; the residue is converted to solids in a crystallizer. Refrigeration tower blowdown salts, for instance, are typically composed of sodium sulphate and sodium chloride, with trace amounts of calcium, magnesium, sulphate, and bicarbonate. Evaporation ...

Why is the Treatment of Wastewater Important?

Image
Clean water is one of the world's largest natural resources, which is essential for life. Wastewater is also a precious resource and is used primarily for recurrent droughts and water scarcity in many parts of the world. Wastewater does thus contain many hazardous substances and, unless it is processed, cannot be released into the environment. Thus, wastewater treatment is twice important: restoring the source of water and protecting the planet against toxins. Wastewater treatment solutions offer you several benefits that are mentioned below-: Energy Production: During the treatment process, the sludge collected is treated because it contains a lot of biodegradables. In specially enclosed 35 degrees Celsius digesters, where these anaerobic micro-organisms survive without any oxygen, they can be therapied with anaerobic bacteria. During this anaerobic digestion process, the gas contains a vast quantity of methane that is harvested and then burnt for electricity. This energy should ...
