Yes good on him for trying to explain the cock ups .
You would have thought the German engineers would have had a monitoring program for the scaling in the pipes , rather than for the pipes to become so restricted that performance was compromised. Even monitoring the change in load on the power supply of the motors should have shown up the increased head loss in the pipes , this is really rooky 101 engineering .
Standard procedure in engineering is design then to implement a process, then have a control system in place to monitor it , and then rectify before parameters get out of their respective boundaries , the brine concentration went above parameters , due to high evaporation rates (too much of a good thing ) , this should have been monitored and controlled as well .
Overall a lack of control on a system that was supposedly proven , that does not inspire me to think the German engineering guys have been competent to date.
However the fact the local MD has outlined the issues rather than making excuses speaks volumes not only for for his character integrity but also that he has a legitimate plan going ahead
Probably a hold for me until we see if the purification plant using quality feedstock is also capable of performing to name plate after modifications .
Be interesting if down the line KLL goes for damages against EBTEC given the delay .
