Book description
The most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of reverse osmosis in
industrial applications.
Reverse osmosis is rapidly growing as a water treatment technology
used for many applications, such as boiler feed water and recovering
wastwater for reuse. This "green" technology is becoming
more and more widely used in many settings, especially in industry.
Even as the technology becomes more widespread, the understanding of
the technology is lagging behind. Reverse Osmosis provides an
essential reference for any process or chemical engineer working with
this emergent technology.
This outstanding reference:
-
Provides a comprehensive and thorough coverage of reverse
osmosis technology
-
Discusses fundamental processes and equipment for operating
and troubleshooting a reverse osmosis system, such as reverse
osmosis principles, membrane technology, and flow patterns
-
Covers more advanced engieering topics for specific
industrial applications, such as system design
-
Features clear, consise language written in
easy-to-understand language, providing engineers immediate
ability to implement a reverse osmosis program
Jane Kucera has a degreee in chemical engineering
from UCLA and is a chemical engineer with 25 years experieence in the
area of membrane technology. Jane began her work with membranes in the
Seawater Laboratory at UCLA where she received her Master of Chemical
Engineering degree in 1984. She worked for 7 years with Bend Research,
where she worked on water re-use systems for the International Space
Station. Ms. Kucera's subsequent career path is a "who's
who" of the world's most respected companies working in water
treatment, including GE and Siemens. She joined the Nalco Company in
2003, where she is a senior engineer with a variety of
responsibilities. She has approximately 40 publications to her credit,
including journal articles, presentations, and book chapters.
