Monitoring The Quality of a Reverse Osmosis System in The Energy Systems of The Milk Processing Plant

Abstract

The objective of the present work is to monitor and control the physicochemical quality of the osmosis water that feeds the dairy industry in our case the power plant, specifically in terms of energy services. The three energy installations fed by reverse osmosis water are the boiler room, the cold room and the compressed air. These facilities respectively allow the production of steam, the absorption of heat from water through ammonia and the production of compressed air. During a period of 30 days, we monitored the pH, conductivity, alkalinity, hydrometric title, and chlorine content on water samples at the feed tank, boiler, and condenser. The results of the majority of the experimental analyzes comply with the standards imposed except for a few days.
