Does anybody have any paper on the physical properties of the feedwater? I am trying to find it for my course assignment.
It is already entailed that they want us to know how to design a plant with the lack of information. Can you give me tips on how to design a plant with the lack of information?
Part of being a student or professional is making informed decisions and assumptions. Sometimes you may not be given all the facts to see how resourceful you are at thinking and coming up with an answer. I don't know your situation, but there are at least 4 assumptions you might make concerning the watering, 1) collect rainwater, 2) use the community public drinking water system - it may have some clorine residuals, 3) use a nearly stream such as from a forested area with good water quality or whatever is available, which may not be that good if it has farming and industrial waste residues, and 4) from well water to most commonly used aquifer or even the surface aquifer for plants. There might be other choices for you, but sea water is generally not a very good choice for most plants. My wife has a green thumb with most plants, but not with orchids. She got a tip for orchids, put in 3 ice cubes once a week, and they will do fine. Sometimes you need to recognize the needs of plants on not only type of water, but quantity, frequency, etc. Just whatever assumption you make, also you might suggests the benefits or limits of using those type waters, and of course document your assumptions, one of the most critical things is to indicate your methods. If you are designing an entire botanical plant, then you will address areas where plants get more water than others, different frequencies, etc. perhaps a watering system that is computerized, etc. Some plants don't want water sprayed directly on their leaves. Some riparian and aquatic plants have more continuous saturated soils or ponded water needs.
Dear
The attached publications cover the answer to your question:

Welcome to the 2011 edition of the Botany Industrial Park Pty Ltd
(BIP) community information brochure. This brochure, first produced
in 1994, describes the businesses that make up the BIP, our continuing
commitment to safety, our environmental performance, and our
improved community outreach programs. More importantly, it highlights
the emergency management procedures for BIP and how you can
contact us for more information.

INTRODUCTION
Orica Australia Pty Ltd (Orica) commissioned Golder Associates Pty Ltd (Golder) to revise the Conceptual Site Model (CSM) (URS, 2007) for the Botany Groundwater Cleanup (BGC) Project, and other current contamination projects at the Botany Industrial Park (BIP). The 2007 CSM (URS, 2007m) was prepared by
URS Australia Pty Ltd (URS) for the BGC Project Strategy Workshop (the Workshop) held by Orica in December 2007. The purpose of the revision of the CSM is to incorporate the information gained from work conducted since November 2007. The objective of the CSM is to summarise and encapsulate pertinent information derived from the many studies undertaken at BIP and surrounding areas, including: The history of industrial activity and land development at BIP and surrounding properties, including potentially contaminating activities and land uses; The progression and scope of investigation and remedial works undertaken by Orica and its predecessor, ICI Australia Pty Ltd (ICI), associated with the Botany Groundwater Project; The environmental setting at BIP and surrounding affected properties; The inferred sources, nature and extent of contamination, including the various media affected by the contamination;
The mechanisms for transport and attenuation of the contaminants, and exposure of identified receptors to the contamination;
The potential health and environmental risks which the identified contamination is inferred to pose; and Effects of current remedial practices, and the results of previous remediation work and trials.
Since the main contamination migration and exposure issues associated with the BIP are related to groundwater, the CSM is primarily a hydrogeological document. However, as indicated above, summary data and relevant information are also included for soil, surface water, sediment, biota and vapour phase contamination.
Hoping this will be helpful,
