The Value and Challenges of Chlorination/Dechlorination Process Optimization in Power Generation
Quality of the steam cycle water requires special attention and chlorination/dechlorination phase is very important, especially for reclaimed water sources. Efficient control of residual chlorine allows for minimizing RO membranes maintenance and extending their life. Optimized dechlorination, permitted by accurate ultra-low range chlorine monitoring, resulted in over 30% reduction in sodium bisulfite usage and halved […]
Longer Term Impact of Desalinated Water on Blended Supplies
The Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant (CDP) was completed in December 2015 and produces approximately 50 MGD of locally controlled drought-proof, potable water for San Diego County. The Water Research Foundation (WRF) initiated Project 4773, entitled Carlsbad Desalinated Seawater Integration Study, to assess the integration of seawater desalinated with reverse osmosis (SWRO) into the […]

Lifecycle Cost Analysis of Photobioreactor Followed by Secondary RO for Enhanced Water Recovery in Brackish Water Desalination
Population growth and prolonged and frequent drought events call for an urgent need for alternative sources of water. The use of unconventional water resources such as brackish water and reclaimed water has become a viable option because of the recent advances in reverse osmosis (RO) technologies. As of March 2021, there are more than 1,200 […]
