Study Of The Solar Water Heating Industry In Kenya
Introduction
The solar water heating systems (SWH) industry in Kenya operates under several laws and policies. Published on the 25th May 2012 through legal notice No. 43, the Energy (Solar Water Heating) Regulations 2012, is the central regulatory instrument. These regulations make it mandatory for all premises (within the jurisdiction of a local authority) with hot water requirements exceeding one hundred litres per day to install and use solar water heating systems. Premises are defined as “existing, new or alterations and extensions to existing residential or commercial buildings or structures” and include domestic, institutional, commercial and industrial buildings.

Greywater Treatment In Sand And Gravel Filters
Environmental pollution is a global concern because of the harmful effects on public health and the environment. The irresponsible disposal of untreated wastewater into surface waters, soil and groundwater results in polluted water resources and environmental damages such as eutrophication. Pollution prevention is most successful through the reduction or elimination of pollution at source instead of the common end-of-the-pipe approach. The treatment at source is the most efficient environmental protection by avoiding the generation of mixed waste streams and harmful emissions.

Industrial Water Our Essential Guide To Pollution, Treatment & Solutions
Without water, many companies and the products they provide would fail to exist. Water use is a fundamental commodity for nearly every step of the manufacturing and production processes around the world. Whether it's deionised water for electronics and pharmaceutical sectors, or softened water
for boiler feed applications, water is necessary and comes embedded in the footprint of virtually item created on the planet. And to put it into perspective: industry accounts for around 40% of total water abstractions. Yet, at the same time, many global companies have manufacturing facilities operating in
water scarce parts of the world, with over two thirds of companies now reporting exposure to water risks. This article is designed to provide an essential guide to everything you need to know about industrial water and wastewater.

Guidelines for Managing Water in Cooling Systems
In today’s fast-paced markets, knowing where to focus cost reduction efforts is essential for remaining competitive. The production line is often the primary focus of cost reduction analysis. But a good environmental manager—given the necessary support from an organization’s leadership — can help reduce costs by optimizing support operations, such as those that rely on water. Attention to water conservation is good business. It has a direct impact on the bottom line: less water consumed means less water purchased, less water treated, and less water discharged.

Expansion Tank Design (Chilled Water)
INTRODUCTION
An expansion tank is used in a chilled water system to accomplish three main tasks, accommodate thermal expansion of the chilled water, maintain positive pressure at all points in the system at all times and maintain net positive suction head at the chilled water pump(s). There are other techniques and equipment besides the expansion tank that help to accomplish these three purposes, but only the ways the expansion tank affects these three purposes will be discussed in this guide. In addition, the three expansion tank types will be discussed, along with their sizing equations. The three types of expansion tanks are open, closed and diaphragm.
