Hello:
After searching high and low, it is surprising to find little information on Brine Saturator Tank design for industrial duty brine-production for ion-exchange (sodium zeolite) water softener regeneration. Can anyone contribite a detailed design guide or technical reference? Many...
Hello:
Would anyone be able to recommend a source for hot lime softener modeling software to help calculate lime, soda ash and MgO feed rates for treatment of a given water? Perhaps just an Excel spreadsheet program to share and perhaps build upon.
Many thanks.//
Bitumen produced in SAGD operations that is denser than water should be separatable from produced water by sinking it, especially in hot water. We are investigating this, to see if it can compete with the more conventional solvent addition and diluted bitumen floating.
There is reportedly a...
Hello.
There is a resurgence in fuel-ethanol from corn or grain, with numerous new plants being built through-out North America (typical size of 40 million gallons per year, $50 MM). The designs have changed drastically over the last 10-20 years, and the plants are now very tightly heat...
Can anyone provide insight into typical total suspended solids (TSS) loading capacity of deep bed filters (lb/ft2 or lb/ft3)?
Realizing that values will range widely with particle size and density and filter media used (eg: 0.1 lb/ft2 for sand filters filtering river water to 20 lb/ft2 for...
In MS-Excel, when drawing PFD's (process flow diagrams) and process block diagrams, using connector lines to join block objects is so much more powerful than just using a plain formatted line. When working to make a finished drawing easy to read, mooving the blocks around to minimize lines...
Hello:
We are designing a refinery installation. Supply water is from river which is high in total suspended solids (85 ppm TSS average, ranging from about 10 in winter to 500 or higher during spring break-up conditions or heavy rainfall). We need to get raw water TSS below about 40 ppm (eg...
Thank you in advance for comment.
What would the acronym LDT stand for?
This regards an RFP that refers to preparation of PFD (process flow diagrams), P&ID's (piping and instrumentation diagrams), and LDT's. Coudn't find LDT on my favourite acronym website either...
