Hi all, Newb here looking for help. I am trying to find detailed info on RHTTs for a research project and this is probably the best place that I can find to get the answers.
in particular I am interested in the environmental footprint of the RHTTs and the business model Network Rail uses for them.
My questions are:
I look forward to your thoughts, answers and any additional info that might be relevant. Thanks.
in particular I am interested in the environmental footprint of the RHTTs and the business model Network Rail uses for them.
My questions are:
- how much water is in each tank and how many tanks on average per RHTT
- how many miles they treat per outing and in total in the UK
- how much water is used per mile
- in total, how many miles on average they treat in an outing (50% efficient? out and back again to refill for example)
- how much friction modifier is used per mile
- how many miles are treated.
- isantifreeze or other additives added to the water?
- what other technologies are out there other than water jets?
- what are the capital and running costs of the water jet or other systems, how are they financed (does network rail own them or lease them and pay per mile treated?)
I look forward to your thoughts, answers and any additional info that might be relevant. Thanks.
