Water Maintenance Case Study
Maintenance in most plants is more reactive in nature; it is done as the need arises. There is no deliberate action to perform preventative maintenance. The maintenance problems, like many other problems, are directly related to poor staffing and training. Operators were generally found to be ignorant of the consequences of poor maintenance, although some reported of poor support systems in place as the maintenance tasks were left for a single operator to manage. Don't drink the water. Many commercial airlines post this warning in their lavatories over the water faucet. What kind of filtration systems are necessary to ensure a high degree of water quality is maintained? What should we keep in mind when maintaining water filtration systems? …show more content…
An UV filter relies on particulate filtration to remove contaminants prior to entering the UV chamber, ensuring the water is clear allowing full penetration of the UV radiation. So all the issues regarding maintenance of canister filters are just as critical in UV applications.

Regular maintenance of the UV filtration unit is also required. The life of the UV unit is approximately 1,000 gallons. It is recommending the operators change them out annually. This is because even though the lamp itself may be strong, if the water is particularly bad, or the canister filter doesn't get all of that, then it will get some clouding of the quartz sleeve that separates the lamp from the water. And if that gets cloudy, then the UV is not getting through."

Some of the UV filtration units that IWG manufactures have integrated monitoring systems to measure the efficiency of the lamp. In this case, regular inspection of the system during maintenance checks will ensure proper

One simple means of transferring resin is through the use of education systems.
Extra technical information:
Storage and Handling of Ion Exchange Resins
Ion exchange resins are normally shipped in the water-swollen form and should be stored in a sheltered area and in a manner whereby the moisture within the beads is retained.
The resin may be stored in the plastic bag in which it was shipped, provided it is kept tightly sealed or transferred to a glass container.
Although freezing does no harm, repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Backwash all resin beds to remove debris and suspended contaminants. Keep the resin in the exhausted rather than regenerated form. If necessary, convert the resin to the completely exhausted form, using dilute solutions of acid for the anion resin, caustic soda for strongly acidic resins.

    Class average for a 80 and 120 drop count was recorded to be 0.041+/- 0.005 mL/drop. If a graduated cylinder is not available there is another way of adding more of the solution. The disposable pipet can transfer 0.5mL of the solution to the chemical reaction. When comparing a 10mL graduated cylinder, a 100mL beaker, and a 50mL graduated cylinder, the most precision peace of glass wear would be the 10 mL graduated cylinder with the true volume of water (calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 9.7896 +/- 0.05mL. The 50mL graduated cylinder comes in second place with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 50.0001 +/- 0.22mL. The third peace of glassware coming in as the least accurate would be the 100 mL beaker with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 59.9999 +/- 0.82mL.…

    Preventative maintenance is an important fundamental that should not be overlooked for the successful operational state of an information system. For the preventative maintenance plan to be effective, preventative maintenance checks should be done daily, weekly, monthly, and annually. At each interval, there should be a different set of checks to be completed, much like the preventative maintenance that is done on an automobile. For information systems, care should be given to ensure that equipment is clean and is staying in operational shelf life.…

    Censorship of an author’s words denies individuals the ability to choose, to critically evaluate, and to judge what they read. Banning a book is most frightening when viewed in the context of a young adult. Censorship automatically assumes a young adult is incapable of critically evaluating information they read. The implication exists that due to their age young adults cannot be trusted to make the right decisions nor resist outside influences. Furthermore, the individuals and groups inciting censorship seldom view the challenged book objectively. In "Teens Need Bold Books," Gallo observes that censorship advocates “often call for the banning of books without actually reading them, and even in rare instances where objecting parents have…

    Membranes deteriorate and are replaced due to the deposition of unwanted materials on the surface. In addition, a decrease in membrane performance may be due to other factors such as degradation by chemical (oxidation, hydrolysis, etc.) and/or mechanical (compaction, telescoping) processes. Extending membrane life and thereby minimizing replacement costs is a key success factor for reverse osmosis (RO) systems.…
