Evaluation of Reverse Osmosis - Electrode-ionization Pilot Project in PT Badak NGL

Apr 4, 2012
Fany Arfianto
PT Badak NGL utilizes groundwater for Plants and Community water consumption. Demineralization water production in PT Badak NGL uses ion exchange process which has high safety risk since it utilizes sulfuric acid and caustic for ion exchanger regeneration. The sulfuric acid sometimes leaks out from...
