PROBLEM

A leading producer of bottled mineral water was experiencing problems using a conventional glass bead carbonator for dispersing and dissolving carbon dioxide gas in water. Consistent gas bubble sizes were impossible to achieve without frequent maintenance and lost production.

A further problem with the conventional equipment, which was designed without any particular attention to mixing, was that flavours were periodically accumulating in the car

PROBLEM

How is it possible to optimise the temperature of washwater used for cooling and removing trace contaminants from fibres during the final stages of rayon manufacture?

A robust method for heating acidified recycled washwater was required. Direct steam injection into cold fluids in an empty pipe is thermally efficient, but results in other serious problems associated with vibration, noise and poor temperature control.

Dispersing steam, o

PROBLEM

Public water treatment plant required highly effective control to dechlorinate and pH trim in difficult access situation.

Southern Water’s Weirwood Treatment Works supplies direct to the consumer and therefore the highest levels of efficiency and process control are required. Weirwood uses a super-chlorination system which requires effective excess chlorine removal and pH trimming post-treatment. Whilst the requirements could only be met wi
