Using saline water in agriculture has been investigated by various researchers. But can we use saline water in industry? Can you suggest me some references on my relevant topic?
Industrial machines, pipes and containers is typically work at temperatures above 100 oC. The salts may be deposited in these places and disrupt manufacturing. Also saline water may be unhelpful to produce and the ideal product not be made.
you can see this book D Molden - 1997 - books. Accounting for water use and productivity
Thank you Dr. Shah Fahad . I've study this book (D Molden - 1997 - books. Accounting for water use and productivity) three years ago. Using saline water in industry do not investigate in this reference. But allocation of water (fresh or saline) in industry was appointed in this reference.
It depends on the type and concentration of saline content in the water. For example, Calcium sulfate has inverse solubility so operation beyond 50-60 C is hard to achieve without using anti-scale additives which are an additional cost component.
If you have more info on the exact concentrations of different salts in the water you intend to use, maybe I can help you.
