Secondary Water Treatment

Petroleum. Apart from its use ia petrochemicals manufacture, there are a number of small, scattered uses of lime ia petroleum (qv) production. These are ia making red lime (drilling) muds, calcium-based lubricating grease, neutralization of organic sulfur compounds and waste acid effluents, water treatment ia water flooding (secondary oil recovery), and use of lime and pozzolans for cementing very deep oil wells.

We will address some of these issues later on in this chapter. But for now, simply recognize the fact that the most basic part of waste water treatment is solids removal. Solids are removed in primary and secondary treatment tanks, but without such effective removal there is no treatment process efficiency. 

The corrosion rates of nickel and nickel alloys in pure water and steam at elevated temperatures are generally extremely low, typically of the order of 1 m/year. The metal and its alloys are therefore often selected for service in these environments in circumstances where contamination of the water by metal ions is to be avoided. It should be noted, however, that the possibility of stress corrosion may need to be taken into account in certain circumstances (see below). Additionally where phosphate water treatment has been used in PWR secondary heat exchangers, severe localised corrosion has occurred when alkaline phosphates have been permitted to accumulate .

Environmental risk assessment examines the potential adverse effects to ecosystems from exposure of the aquatic, terrestrial and air components. Initial assessment normally focuses on the aquatic compartment, including effects on microorganisms in waste water treatment plants. This first tier risk assessment can be extended to cover the sediment part of the aquatic compartment and the soil compartment. At higher tonnage levels, effects relevant to the food chain are evaluated, i.e., secondary poisoning. Diderich in Chapter 8 of (73) discusses the principles of EU environmental risk assessment. 

Multiple-stage ozonization seems to be more effective than single-stage ozonization, both followed by biodegradation, for DOC ehmination in treatment of reservoir waters and secondary effluents of a domestic wastewater treatment plant . The fate of O3 in water ozonization consists of a fast reaction with the DOC and a slow first-order decay of unreacted O3. A method for optimization of a two-stage water ozonization process is based on control with a FIA unit, where the ozone concentration is continuously measured by oxidation of indigotrisulfonate(8) . The various fractions of DOC (in the ppm range) may react with the traces of bromide (sub-ppm) found in natural waters, as this anion... 

Purified water is produced by the water treatment of available drinking water. The water treatment unit filling the storage tank shall be located at a suitable place per approved layout. From this tank, start hot loops, e.g., one for the recirculation in the water treatment unit (if required) and one for distribution in the building, to allow filling of the tanks and to feed the distillator and the steam generator. From the two secondary tanks start two loops to provide several points of use in the buildings (as required). 

Since the mid-fifties sulfonated resins based on styrene/divinylbenzene copolymers, initially developed as ion exchangers mainly for water treatment, nave also been used as strongly acidic solid catalysts. Witn few exceptions, industrial application in continuous processes is limited to the manufacture of bulk chemicals, sucn as Disphenol A, (meth)acrylates, metnyl ethers of branched olefins (MTBE, TAME) and secondary alcohols (IPA, SBA). 

Intensive and extensive studies on photocatalysts over the past 20 years have demonstrated their applicability to water treatment and their limitations. A single application of a photocatalyst is not possible for all types of waste water. It can be used as secondary and tertiary treatment. An other possible way is to combine it with hydrogen peroxide, ozone or others materials. Development of other applications besides waste water treatment is also under way.
