Presentation Transcript
Proposed Topic No. Area Research Topic Remarks In average, APC has to Construct a fixed and huge Pumping station to chase the Dead Sea level to pump brine (270 Million m3) to Solar Pans Using Floating Pumps to Transfer Dead Sea Brine to Fixed Pumping Station 1- Intake Pumping Station APC adopted mechanical dredging to remove Salts and restore the evaporation area. Salt Mushroom Formation at Salt Pans 2- Salt Pans Huge quantity of Water is used to remove the salt build up. This affects negatively on the pans Concentration Salt Build Up inside the transfer Pipes and Pumps 3- Pans Area it is estimated that 20% of the annual pumped quantity of brine from the sea to the pans is lost through the surrounding dikes. 4- Dikes & Pans Area Seepage of Brine Through Dikes
Proposed Topic No. Area Research Topic Remarks A hazard endangering of the Dikes stability 5- Pans & Dikes Sinkholes Formation Increasing Standard Potash from Cold Crystallization Plants. Less than 20% of CCPS is standard 6- Cold Crystallization Plant Finding New Floating Reagent to Replace used One 7- Cold Crystallization Plant Cost Issue Enhancement of Water Quality Used at Process & for Equipment Low Quality affects negatively on Equipment Sustainability 8- Plants
Proposed Topic No. Area Research Topic Remarks Deterioration of Concrete Basements due to brine Contact. Enhancement of concrete used at Plants 9- Plants Maintenance Cost for pipes and equipment is very huge due to Corrosion 10- Plants Corrosion Dissolubility of subsurface salt upon being in contact with normal Sea water 11- Dikes & Pans Area Dead-Red Sea project
