Water-Formed Deposits

Fundamentals and Mitigation Strategies

About this book

Water-Formed Deposits: Fundamentals and Mitigation Strategies wholly presents the important issue of deposits in aqueous systems, both industrial and biological. By analyzing causes, mechanisms and mitigation strategies, the book helps researchers/engineers/end-users gain a fundamental understanding of the issues underlying deposit formation and mitigation. It covers numerous, fundamental aspects of water-formed deposits, while also giving an applications' perspective. The book's goal is to assist the reader in his/her understanding of the important issues of scale formation, while also helping with potential solutions. - Provides a fundamental understanding of deposit formation by presenting basic science and mechanisms - Presents an "applications perspective - Reveals a systematic overview of deposit-related challenges and their mitigation - Correlates structure to performance in mitigation strategies - Analyzes current legal aspects and regulations - Includes case studies from the "real industrial world for the industrial reader/end user
