Description
Membrane systems are finding increasing application worldwide in the purification of potable and industrial water, and their design and use is set to grow considerably in years to come. This comprehensive book is written in a practical style with emphasis on process description, key unit operations, plant equipment description, equipment installation, safety and maintenance, process control, plant start-up, operation and troubleshooting. It is supplemented by case studies and useful engineering rules-of-thumb. The author is a chemical engineer with many years experience in the field and his technical knowledge and practical know-how in the water purification industry are summarised succinctly in this volume. This book... * Will ensure your system design is fit for its purpose * Informs readers of which membranes to use; why, where and when * Will help readers to trouble-shoot and improve performance * Provides case studies help understanding through real-life situations

Audience
Field engineers and operators; OEM companies; Equipment manufacturers; specifiers; consultants; academics
