Key Technical Points for Process Design of Water Systems

Water use at a plant can increase for many reasons. Plant expansions and unit conversions can impact utility systems by boosting flows and contaminant loading. In addition, new and modified units may contribute additional storm water runoff. Tighter product specifications can also lead to increased water demands from additional washing/treatment steps.The aim of this book is to specify the key technical issues related to the process design and selection of various water supply systems used in the oil, gas and chemical processing industries.
