Inland brackish water desalination is offered as a means of creating ?new? water resources in acid regions. However, paper concedes treatment cost remains high and is often exacerbated by cost of concentrate disposal. Paper details the use of high-recovery electro-dialysis reversal (EDR) to reduce treatment costs by minimizing volume of concentrate...

Due to prohibitively high cost of inland desalination, there has been a surge of interest into emerging technologies and techniques for recovery enhancement and concentration minimization. EDR has been identified for its potential as a high-recovery desalination technology. This research hypothesis was that EDR could effectively treat brackish grou...
