This website is intended to provide a source of hard to find information about the often misunderstood processes of water treatment. Information that is mostly based on and gained from the experience of solving water treatment process problems. I'm sure the reader would hope that I am presenting information from mostly successful experience. My experience has shown that success will be accomplished when "fundamental and factual chemical engineering process technique "is applied to the problem. Fundamental and factual chemical engineering process technique is what this site is about.

You may wonder, what is this fundamental and factual jargon? Well, I have found, that in the water treatment business, what is sometimes considered as "accepted" or "good practice" by what may seem to be competent or reputable "authorities" is not "fundamental and factual," that is, based on physics and chemistry. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view, many water treatment processes are obscure and ill defined for operators and even engineers. Sometimes, a relatively simple process, for example, clarification, can sometimes become a major headache or even a fiasco.

Here, the reader is a two way judge of competence. My competence because he is reading my material, and his competence because he must determine how much or how little he knows about my subject, and if me or my material may be some help.

If you have what you may consider a difficult and obscure problem regarding your water treatment equipment or process, one which you don't seem to be able to beat, than this is where you want to start, at least to start moving in the right direction.

This site is intended for engineers, scientists, and technicians who may have a specific need for it.
