Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 28 - The basics of desalination
Achieved badges:
Q: How does reverse osmosis in desalination work?
A: In reverse osmosis, the intake water is subjected to high temperatures in order to separate salt from water through evaporation.
Q: How does reverse osmosis in desalination work?
A: Reverse osmosis is a normal filtration process in which water passes through a filter.
Q: How does reverse osmosis in desalination work?
A: High-pressure pumps force seawater through a membrane to separate water molecules from minerals, bacteria and other impurities.
Q: Why is it essential that the flushing procedure runs perfectly?
A: Flushing prevents premature corrosion and increases system reliability
Q: Why is it essential that the flushing procedure runs perfectly?
A: Flushing keeps the usage of expensive chemicals to an absolute minimum
Q: Why is it essential that the flushing procedure runs perfectly?
A: Flushing ensures reliable and efficient operation for years
Q: Why are beach wells with submersible pumps the optimal intake method for smaller desalination plants?
A: A beach well is a very cheap solution for water intake.
Q: Why are beach wells with submersible pumps the optimal intake method for smaller desalination plants?
A: A beach well intake will prevent chemical use in the desalination plant.
Q: Why are beach wells with submersible pumps the optimal intake method for smaller desalination plants?
A: The water passes through sand, which acts as a natural filter and eliminates the need for prefiltration in the plant
Q: When examining the actual installation, what is the first thing to do?
A: Verify the characteristics of the pumped media and the operating conditions.
Q: When examining the actual installation, what is the first thing to do?
A: Verify that air vents are present in the system, before and after the membranes.
Q: When examining the actual installation, what is the first thing to do?
A: Make sure that power supply and power cables are in accordance with the nameplates.
Q: How much of the energy needed to drive the reverse osmosis process will a pressure exchanger provide?
A: 33%
Q: How much of the energy needed to drive the reverse osmosis process will a pressure exchanger provide?
A: 50%
Q: How much of the energy needed to drive the reverse osmosis process will a pressure exchanger provide?
A: 60%
Q: Why is it important to measure the raw water, production water and brine, when the facility is switched on for the first time?
A: The measuring will ensure that the water is properly treated before it reaches the reverse osmosis membranes.
Q: Why is it important to measure the raw water, production water and brine, when the facility is switched on for the first time?
A: By comparing the data with the values obtained in the design phase it is possible to calibrate and balance the system to get the best possible results
Q: Why is it important to measure the raw water, production water and brine, when the facility is switched on for the first time?
A: Because it is important to provide the operator with the instructions and the information he needs.
