Subject field(s)
  • Equipment and Tools (Water Supply)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

In recent years, drinking water regulations for the removal of particles and total organic carbon(TOC) have become more stringent. Consequently, utilities are considering whether traditional treatment strategies... are best suited to achieving these new standards at a reasonable cost, or whether the use of innovative processes is warranted. Among the possible alternatives that are currently in use, microsand enhanced coagulation has emerged as a promising, low-cost alternative for many water supplies based on extensive trial and error pilot testing. However, because of poor understanding, there is no fundamental basis for deciding when, or if, the microsand process will offer advantages over conventional treatment, nor is there an understanding about the magnitude of the improvement to be expected.

CONT

Trial close. An exercise used at the Xerox sales school to induce a potential client to select the type of machine he wants to buy and the time of its delivery, even before he has expressed a desire to buy it. This is meant to make him believe that the salesman thinks he has decided to buy, a situation intended to induce the client to state the conditions under which he will buy or, on the contrary, his reasons for rejecting any offer of purchase. This type of exercise also applies to the acceptance process trial close, but, in this case, the salesman will be required to specify the conditions under which he will agree to sell.
