“Blue is the new green.” This is
an all-new revised edition of a modern classic on one of the most
important subjects in engineering: Water. Featuring a total revision of
the initial volume, this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date
coverage of the process of desalination in industrial and municipal
applications, a technology that is becoming increasingly more important
as more and more companies choose to “go green.” This book covers all
of the processes and equipment necessary to design, operate, and
troubleshoot desalination systems, from the fundamental principles of
desalination technology and membranes to the much more advanced
engineering principles necessary for designing a desalination system.
Earlier chapters cover the basic principles, the economics of
desalination, basic terms and definitions, and essential equipment.
The
book then goes into the thermal processes involved in desalination,
such as various methods of evaporation, distillation, recompression, and
multistage flash. Following that is an exhaustive discussion of the
membrane processes involved in desalination, such as reverse osmosis,
forward osmosis, and electrodialysis. Finally, the book concludes with a
chapter on the future of these technologies and their place in industry
and how they can be of use to society.
This book is a must-have
for anyone working in water, for engineers, technicians, scientists
working in research and development, and operators. It is also useful
as a textbook for graduate classes studying industrial water
applications.
