E FFICIENCY AND ECONOMY OF THE INDUSTRIAL PROCESS OF WATER TREATMENT - CASE STUDY
: Water preparation for industrial use commonly involves a multi-stage approach to raw water treatment. The selection of individual treatment operations is based on various factors. Adherence to regulations and standards on water quality for a specific purpose is of key importance, as the entire treatment process should meet or exceed applicable regulatory standards. In the selected plant for the preparation of industrial water, an evaluation of the efficiency and economy of the process was carried out by comparing the results of water analysis before and after each treatment, by reviewing the justification of the location of the process units in the treatment line, and by analyzing the selected process parameters. The results of water analyzes confirmed that adequate selection and location of unit operations in the raw water treatment line can have multiple beneficial effects in meeting water quality requirements for the desired purpose.
