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
