However, the operational problem of phosphate hide-out has become a continuous challenge for the plant operators. Advances in boiler water treatment have shown that effective corrosion control and prevention of scaling can be achieved by using a mixture of film-forming and alkalizing amines and polycarboxylates [Film Forming Amine Product (FFAP)].

Changeover from CHZ to FFAP without phosphate addition in the drum was done initially by dosing FFAP from both hydrazine tank and phosphate tank so that pH was maintained to the required values in both feed water and drum water. With the optimal dose rate (0.6 ppm) maintaining FFAP in the range of 0.3–1.0 ppm in feed water, all the key parameters (pH, ammonia and specific conductivity) were within the specified boiler design limits. The average corrosion rates on the water side were low for both CHZ and FFAP treatment (0.009 ± 0.001 mm y⁻¹), however FFAP treated coupons showed much lower corrosion rates compared to CHZ in the steam side (0.0006 ± 0.0003 mm y⁻¹ cf. 0.0075 ± 0.0006 mm y⁻¹).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 100212"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47123067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study calculated sectoral blue water footprints (WFs) in water scarce Pakistan between 1971 and 2020. Agriculture dominates blue WFs, industry contributed 0.5–1.4%, municipal WFs 0.5–1.7%. Manufacture (cloth and yarn) and electricity production (hydropower) dominated blue industrial WFs. Agricultural crop and livestock production tripled using the same amount of blue water, but industrial and municipal WFs increased with increasing production/population, the blue industrial WF by a factor of 3.3, municipal WFs by a factor of 3.6. Pakistan's water scarcity depends on environmental flow requirement (EFR) definitions. Volumetric government definitions generate low water scarcity allocating almost all water to society. Higher EFR's generate moderate to severe scarcity. Efficient agriculture leaves more water for industry and municipal supply, increasing crop output and decreasing sectoral competition. Policy might support improved water infrastructure.

This paper presents a solution that can help treatment plants to work more effectively and reach their mine water management goals. Using Python 3.7.1 programming language within an Anaconda 4.11.0 platform, neural networks and regression tree algorithms were compared to find the best performing model after the data had undergone robust data pre-processing and exploratory data analysis statistical techniques. The main aim was to use this best performing model to forecast mining influenced water (MIW) parameters. This approach will help the treatment plant operators in knowing the future MIW chemistry, and they can eventually plan ahead of time what chemicals and methods to use to treat and manage polluted MIW. Westrand mine pool water near Randfontein, South Africa is used as a case study, in which historical data (2016–2021) from shaft № 9 is used to train and test the algorithms. These algorithms included the artificial neural network (ANN), deep neural network (DNN), gradient boosting and random forest regression trees, while the multivariate long short-term memory (LSTM) was used to generate new data for the best performing algorithm. Different data pre-processing approaches were explored, including data interpolation and anomaly detection. These processes were carried out to highlight the most important part of completing a machine learning related project, which is data analytics. Finally, the random forest regression tree algorithm showed the overall best performance and was used to forecast Fe and acidity concentrations of MIW for 60 days. It could be shown that artificial intelligence techniques are capable to optimise and forecast mine water treatment plant parameters, and it is imperative to perform robust statistical analysis on the data before attempting to build forecasting models.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 100209"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43654509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such thinking relies on water valuations that limit the value of water to the price paid. Using such simple methods, the share of water cost to total manufacturing cost is significantly small, &lt;3%. As a result, conserving water and enabling technology uptake is difficult to justify economically and slow to advance, hindering progress toward sustainable water use.</p><p>However, the value of water to a manufacturer is far greater than the price paid. Valuations such as the true cost of water consider the additional in-plant treatment and energy costs and have been gaining greater traction in the manufacturing sector. However, true cost alone still undervalues water by not accounting for economic and social costs related to scarcity and environmental externalities.</p><p>This paper makes the case and presents a framework for valuing manufacturing water beyond the price paid and the true cost. The proposed fuller valuation of manufacturing water takes into account the internal and opportunity costs associated with the realization of water risks. The paper follows with a review of a wide range of water valuation metrics, both at the specific industry level and regional/economy-wide level. The use of various valuation metrics incorporating the relationship between the change in value with change in water use, such as marginal value of water, shadow price, and elasticity at the specific industry level, has been limited in the U.S. manufacturing sector. Further, a limited number of studies exist on data-intensive subjective evaluation techniques such as computable general equilibrium modeling and input-output modeling for regional water valuation.</p><p>After reviewing water value metrics, several recent case studies from manufacturers from the literature are presented to illustrate both the promise and challenges of a fuller valuation of water as proposed here. Some large multinational corporations have moved toward assessing the value of water via supply chain sustainability initiatives, environmental profit and loss accounting, estimating risk-adjusted values of water, hydro-economic modeling, natural capital asset valuation, and developing value chain indices. This paper provides policymakers and technology developers a framework for monetizing water value beyond its true cost and current metrics.

In general, the most important parameters affecting the quantity and quality of recovered condensate are climate zone and associated climate parameters, building type, building use, and supply air volume. Additionally in case of indoor air recovery, the most important parameters are the climatic conditions, people activity, plant types grown, and whether the system has to operate in a closed loop. Other important parameters influencing condensate composition is construction and material of the HVAC system and the condensate capture system. The growing interest in the market for vertical farms and closed-loop grow chambers is observed globally. Thus, this study will favor future research on condensate recovery from these facilities.
