We often find sea water and river water polluted with oil, especially in areas frequently passed by oil carriers or near jetties. Oil spills will usually spread following the direction of the wind and ocean waves, forming a thin layer on the sea surface. Depending on the temperature, wind speed, tides and water turbulence, the…

Sering kali kita menemukan air laut dan air sungai yang tercemar dengan minyak, terutama di wilayah yang sering dilewati kapal-kapal pengangkut minyak atau di dekat jetty. Tumpahan minyak biasanya akan menyebar mengikuti arah angin dan gelombang laut, membentuk lapisan tipis di permukaan laut. Tergantung pada suhu, kecepatan angin, pasang surut dan turbulensi air, lapisan tipis…

We have discussed about the Demin Plant in the last article, do you remember? Actually softener is a type of demin plant, namely the Strong Acid Cation (SAC) Exchanger. However, the difference is that the resin softener contains a counter ion of Na+ which has a more specific duty to exchange total hardness or total…

Kita telah membahas tentang Demin Plant di artikel yang lalu, masih ingat bukan? Nah softener sebenarnya adalah salah satu jenis demin plant yaitu Strong Acid Cation (SAC) Exchanger. Namun bedanya resin softener berisi counter ion Na+  yang bertugas lebih spesifik untuk bertukar dengan kesadahan total atau total hardness (kation Ca2+ dan Mg2+) di dalam air.…

Steam Power Plants (PLTU) use steam to drive turbines and generate electricity. Water vapor is obtained by heating the feed water in the boiler with coal as fuel. Water vapor from the boiler is used in the turbine and then enters the condenser to cool its temperature and is referred to as condensate. This condensate…

Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap (PLTU) menggunakan uap air (steam) untuk menggerakkan turbin dan menghasilkan listrik. Uap air diperoleh dengan cara memanaskan air umpan di dalam boiler dengan bahan bakar batu bara. Uap air dari boiler tersebut dipakai di turbin dan selanjutnya masuk ke dalam condenser untuk didinginkan suhunya dan disebut sebagai condensate. Condensate ini akan…

Definition Water is a basic human need, whether for drinking, cooking, washing, irrigating rice fields, industrial raw materials, etc. But unfortunately water sources are limited and not all water sources can be directly used for human needs. For example, surface water (rivers and lakes) generally require a filtration process and chemical injection first to remove…

We have discussed about two desalination methods : Distillation and Reverse Osmosis (RO) in the previous article. Now we will discuss the third desalination method, namely Ion Exchange Demineralization or Demin Plant. What is a Demin Plant? As we know TDS is the amount of dissolved salt in water. The dissolved salts release positive ions…
