DEPARTMENT
"WATER ECOSYSTEMS"
Activities
of the department are aimed at preventing the disruptions in water ecosystems:
a)
development of theoretic principles and validation of practical methodologies
for purposeful rehabilitation of disrupted water and water-associated
ecosystems;
b)
creation of complex environment protection programs for preservation
of the water resources and their rational utilisation for public water
supply systems;
c)
development of highly-efficient methods of preservation of the water
ecosystems
Scientific
problems under research by the department's scientists follow 4 major
directions:
- Development
and implementation of energy-saving technologic processes of water
treatment for use in the domestic and industrial water supply systems
and preventing environmental pollution. To solve this problem, fundamentally
new technologic processes and equipment were suggested and can be
recommended for purification of waters with high muddiness not only
for Azerbaijan and the Caucasian Region, but for the major river-systems
of Africa, Asia, South America and South regions of CIS. The new technologic
processes have been patented in CIS countries, USA, France and India.
- Development
of highly-efficient technologic processes for softening and desalination
of the process water precluding any environmental pollution. A number
of new technologic schemes has been developed, which allow both on
a local and complex level, to achieve higher efficiency of the primary
water treatment and prevent waste water drainage from water-treatment
installations, along with lower consumption of chemicals, being close
to theoretical values.
- Development
of technologic processes of treatment of oil-carrying waste waters,
prevention of the Caspian pollution. A compact water-treatment installation
was developed, using a principle of "a thin-layer" separation of coarse
and fine dispersion particles during filtration with alternating highly-absorbent
materials of different densities for complete removal of emulgated
contaminants and their colloidal systems from the water. The installation
is protected with patents.
- Development
of systems for uniform distribution of flow in complex water supply
systems (using Baku as an example) and optimum positioning of pumping
and regulating hydraulic systems, as well as corrosion protection
of steel waterworks and other technical communications.
The main objective
of this scientific and technical work is to optimise water distribution
and determine proper locations for pumping and regulating facilities
ensuring domestic water supply and distribution in residential areas
and industrial estates by means of gravity flow, leading to a substantial
saving of energy resources. The above-mentioned works represent only
a part of R&D complex planned to be undertaken by the Department "Water
Ecosystems" in stages with expansion of a scientific and technical base
of the International Ecoenergy Academy.
