Analysis of the Irtysh surface water as natural sources of water supply and steam production in the heat and power industry

Abstract

Abstract. The article demonstrates the results of experimental analysis of the Irtysh and Tobol underground and surface water as natural water supply sources and steam production in the heat and power industry; priority locations for water sampling have been identified and substantiated; a qualitative analysis of the Irtysh and Tobol samples has been proved; the reasons for the deviation from the water quality and the required degree of treatment for bringing it to the required indicies are revealed; the mineral composition of water is determined taking into account the peculiarities of the hydrological layers through which the river flows; it is proved that the organic composition is formed due to compounds that are washed out of the reservoir's soil as a result of biological processes; the mineral and organic substances that are brought into the Irtysh, Tobol by waste waters of populated areas and industrial enterprises are revealed; it is proved that the water of the Irtysh River is fresh, belongs to hydrocarbonate class and is suitable for steam production in the heat and power industry.
