Horizontal Drains Intake for Seawater Desalination Experience of Cartagena, Spain
This paper describes how Acciona Water designed and constructed these horizontal drains; what difficulties the team had to face during the implementation and how the facility is performing during the two years operation with this intake type that we believe may be valid and applicable for numerous large scale seawater desalination plants, specially...
Integrated Coagulation-Flocculation and Submerged Membranes Pre-Treatment System for FLOC Separation Applicable in Water Desalination and Water Reuse
This paper presents an integrated coagulation-flocculation and submerged membranes pretreatment system for floc separationin water desalintaiton and water reuse....
Desalination as a Sustainable Alternative for Water Supply: Case Studies
This paper presents two desalination facilities that were constructed to minimize environmental impacts in the forefront. The first facility, the Javea Desalination Plant, minimized brine impact on the receiving body. The second facility, the Beckton Desalination plant, was designed with energy consumption minimized to reduce the carbon footprint a...
Scaling and Organic Fouling: Analytical Approach for a Sustainable Desalination Plants Operation
This paper describes efforts to find an analytical technique to determine why an reverse osmosis membrane will foul in operation. Liquid chromatography with organic carbon detection or infrared microscopy coupled by FTIR-ATR is used as well as size exclusion chromatography methods....
The IFAS-MBR Process: a compact combination of biofilm and MBR Technology for reuse
Study evaluates the use of the combination of both a membrane bioreactor and an integrated fixed film bioreactor in order to reduce site footprint requirements. Pilot testing of the system yielded stable permeability and high level of contaminant removal. Design yields very compact system with high quality effluent for reuse....
Chlorine Dioxide as Disinfectant for Pretreatment in Seawater Desalination Plants
Discusses how to prevent chlorine dioxide residuals from passing from the pretreatment step to the reverse osmosis elements which would damange the membranes. Case studies are all seawater desalination plants....
Desalination Plant of the Paraguana Refining Center, Punto Fijo Venezuela
Due to the lack of potable water for human consumption and operation of the Refining Center of Paraguana, Venezuela, a reverse osmosis plant is designed and constructed for desalination of sea water and production of 70,000 m3 / d of drinking water, contributing to a better Water service to the population and reducing over-exploitation of aquifers ...
