    Bottoms Up Olive Heffernan Analysis

    To achieve this goal, the plant has initiated tours of their facilities, allowing key members of society, such as parents, Girls Scouts, and elected officials to watch and experience the purification process. The pilot facility must also prove themselves by providing water cleaner than current standards. To do this, many AWPF have established four levels of purification. The first level, microfiltration, is a water purification process by which water is sent through tubes at high pressure. These tubes contain 9,000 fibers, each with microscopic pores to filter bacteria from the water. The next step, reverse osmosis, is depicted as a more accurate, precise version of microfiltration where the water is sent through even more fibers with smaller pores. This stage eliminates even smaller chemicals and bacteria. Ensuing, Ultraviolet oxidation occurs when water is mixed with hydrogen peroxide and exposed to ultraviolet rays. This creates a chemical reaction that destroys residual chemical elements. The final level of purification is called ozone disinfection. This procedure introduces ozone into the water. The ozone then exterminates any remaining molecules. The article displays all four steps and their functions in a detailed reference…

    Filter Dirty Water Experiment

    First thing is to make your hypothesis on how to filter dirty water like mine “My hypothesis is if I use one cut bottle and layer it to be pebbles, sand, cloth, charcoal, then cloth, sand, and pebbles it filter the water will be cleaned.”. Then you start to build hypothesis, so start by getting a bottle, cut the bottom of the bottle like two inches of it. You take the cap off the bottle then get two coffee filter and use two rubber bands to tie it to the cap of the bottom. Then add about a inch of pebbles of to the bottle, and then about a half inch layer of sand, a layer of cheesecloth. Next is a layer of charcoal, layer of cheesecloth, then a half layer of sand, finally a layer one inch pebbles. Your hypothesis is made, but it is not time…

    Local Water Supply Analysis

    Water treatment consists of removing very small particles by flocculation. The water is sand filtered to remove bigger particles. A 2m deep bed of sand is used. Finally, it is treated with chlorine to kill microorganisms as disinfection is needed to ensure concentrations are acceptably low. Water testing is carried out for ions, colour, pH, hardness, turbidity, conductivity, micro-organisms. Alternative methods of filtration such as membrane filtration may be both more efficient in removing particles including microorganisms such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. However, these techniques are expensive to execute.…

    Turn the faucet/tap off while you are brushing your teeth, shaving, washing your hands, doing dishes, and so on. Turn the tap off when you shower, too. Get wet, then turn off the water while you soap up. Turn it back on for long enough to rinse. Look for a twist valve that installs behind your shower head to keep the water temperature where you set it while the water is off.…

    Fairchild Water Technologies

    Fairchild Water Technology was a company established in 1980 by Eugene Fairchild that focused on water filtration and purification systems. Fairchild was very successful in the industry and wanted to expand internationally and to be known as the producer of the best water purification systems in worldwide. As the international market liaison for Fairchild, Rahul Chatterjee was given the challenge of moving Fairchild from just “dabbling in developing countries to thriving in them.” There were other Liaisons in Argentina, Brazil and Indonesia, but India was the largest project for the expansion and it was Chatterjee’s job to manage India himself. There were many reasons why India was a choice market for Fairchild, all of which will be explained in the situation analysis, but most importantly Indians had a significant need for more sophisticated water purification systems. Since there are many different methods of purifying water, Chatterjee would have to convince the Indian people that Fairchild’s method was best. One of the most traditional methods, boiling the water, doesn’t rely on any system and was used by about 50 percent of the target market. Boiling was seen by the consumers as the most inexpensive way to get rid of bacteria, but this method left the purified product with a “flat” taste, was very time consuming and failed to remove physical impurities and unpleasant odors. Another 40 percent of the target market used candle filters. These simple mechanical filters were also very affordable costing only about RS350 to RS1100. The issue with the candle filters was that it was a very slow purification process. Others used water purifiers which were considered more sophisticated then candle filters, but the engineers at Fairchild were skeptical of the claim that these purifiers removed all bacteria and viruses. The remaining 10 percent of the target market didn’t own any system and Chatterjee believed that only a select few in this…

    Osmosis: Safe Drinking Water

    Water is one of the many things that all human being need in order to survive. Considering the vast amount of water that is on the planet, it is reasonable to believe that there is more than enough water for everyone to have their fair share and more. Yet this sadly is not the case, as the majority of the water on Earth is unsuitable to drink due to the fact that it is tainted with a numerous amount of contaminants, such as bacteria and salt. The amount of safe drinking water is decreasing more and more each year and will soon become one of the more scarce resources on the planet. Over the years, many different people all over the world have tried to create and refine a water purification process that is both effective and efficient. The…

    Gas Turbine High Efficiency Filtration Systems

    GE Oil & Gas has developed High Efficiency Filtration Systems and an on-line EPA filter replacement system (patent pending) to guarantee high availability and efficiency of gas turbines (GTs). Contaminants entering the GT can cause corrosion, fouling, erosion and melting of particles on hot surfaces, which can rapidly reduce the efficiency and become a serious threat to the turbine. Our GE Oil & Gas integrated approach focuses on selection of the optimum filter elements, maintenance, on-line and off-line water washing, and improvement of the AFS (Air Filtration System) configuration, which includes: increasing the filtration efficiency, on-line filter replacement, separation of the ventilation system, and design for installation and air quality control. This paper describes all the above developments.…

    Membrane Processing

    The membrane technology consists principally of Microfiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF), Nano filtration (NF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO).MF is essentially employed as a clarifying operation to remove macro-materials and suspended solids, milk fat globules, bacteria and colloidal particles. The pore sizes range from0.1 to 10micron and the operating pressures are in the range of 1 to 25 psi g. UF membrane allows the particles from 10,000 to 75,000 Daltons. The operating pressure ranges between 10 to200 psi g. RO membranes are characterized by a molecular weight cut off of nearly 100 Daltons. Only water passes through while everything else including ions, organic molecules remain in the concentrate.…
