\"A comprehensive, one-volume engineering reference from the Water Environment Federation and WateReuse Association on desalination plant operation and maintenance..Desalination Engineering: Operation and Maintenance provides a comprehensive one-volume reference on desalination for municipal water supply professionals. This authoritative guide covers key aspects of desalination plant operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The focus is on reverse osmosis membrane desalination, which at present is the most widely used technology for production of fresh drinking water from highly saline water sources. This Water Environment Federation and WateReuse Association guide covers state-of-the art operation, maintenance, and monitoring practices associated with each of the key desalination plant facilities--intakes, pretreatment technologies, reverse osmosis equipment, energy recovery, membrane systems, post-treatment processes, and solids handling.... Covers theoretical principles of desalination and their practical application.. Presents a step-by-step approach for operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of desalination plant treatment components.. Discusses pre-treatment and reverse osmosis.. Each chapter contains case-study examples illustrating various technologies and their practical implementation.. Provides federal and state regulatory agencies with background on the monitoring requirements to determine and prevent potential environmental impacts associated with the discharges from desalination plants and to reduce the impact of their operations on the environment.. Uses International System of Units (SI) with US units in parenthesis where appropriate..\"-- Provided by publisher.
