    Oil Water Separator Design

    If there weren't financial restraints this wouldn't be engineering! lol First your design - Sand and activated carbon can remove oil but these systems are designed with an efficient way of cleaning them once they get fouled. The normally have pressure indicators before and after each filter...

    Boeing 737 Max8 Aircraft Crashes and Investigations [Part 4]

    Boeing's 737 Max Software Outsourced to $9-an-Hour Engineers https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-28/boeing-s-737-max-software-outsourced-to-9-an-hour-engineers Seems like another example of putting profit over people. I know a lot of firms outsource these types of jobs but I didn't...

    Monitoring waste water COD/TOC/load

    Hi, 1. Are you controlling TOC upstream with some chemical or process? - If you are controlling TOC with something like Chlorine, you can just measure the chlorine content and then infer TOC (most likely you'll be measuring residual Chlorine, this is done in Cooling Tower systems to keep down...

    Severe AntiFoam Injection Needed In BASF aMDEA CO2 Removal System to control foaming

    Hi, It seems like you have multiple problems 1. Injecting Antifoam 2. Increasing temperature in the Urea Reactor 3. Hydrogen evolution/leakage from the system In my experience, the ideal case is to not need to continuously add antifoam to operate. If your absorber is foaming that issue should...

    Oil Water Separator Design

    I've operated an oily water separator system in California and had to get oil concentration down from 500-600 ppm range to the ppb range for a combustion boiler. The process was basically as follows 1. Gravity separation in large tanks (50,000USGals)with weir systems 2. WEMCO (Air induced...

    Corrosion inhibitor needed for boiler system - question

    Yes, there is a water treatment solution for this but it won't be a straight forward answer. If your valves are gumming up and you're seeing iron present in the water they may be from two unrelated things. Have you been doing corrosion coupons on each metal regularly to determine which...
