Optimize water use

摘要

A PROCESS PLANT CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT water-based utility systems.While the importance of these systems isn't usually contested,expenditures to expand or upgrade these operations often are avoided because no direct payback can be assigned to any utility capital expenditures.However,four major drivers are spurring increasing interest in optimizing water use:Higher water-use demands and flows.Increased demands can push the hydraulic limitations of the existing water-treatment,steam-production and wastewater-treat-ment equipment and decrease performance.
