Pretreatment and Design Considerations for Large-Scale Seawater Facilities. Desalination and Water Purification Research and Development Program Report No. 137

摘要

The report addresses key issues of concern regarding the design and operation of seawater desalination facilities in the United States. The use of mixed seawater/surface water results in unique design considerations as evaluated in this study. The objectives of the project were to focus on the following areas: (1) Pretreatment alternatives; and (2) Impacts of seasonal variations on source water quality and process performance.
