Water treatment in the Caribbean offers distant challenges for water professionals. During the design process an engineer must examine multiples aspects of a potential project to ascertain the most cost effective and most sustainable approach. Geographic location can become a major variable during the design selection process. As an example, if the location is remote, too often the shipping of liquid chemicals becomes a challenge as well as the training of operators to safely handle the chemicals during normal operations. The ability to secure trained operators may impact the success or failure of a water treatment process such as membrane separation, reverse osmosis and degasification or decarbonation not to mention odor control.
Much thought must be given by the design professional and owner prior to selection of the water treatment process to assure a long term sustainable working solution. When a process is selected there should be a written plan on how operations and maintenance of the water treatment system should be operated and how the operators will be properly trained and monitored for compliance.
