Desalination in Mining

With improvements in technology, desalination is becoming more viable both to provide source water and to treat process water Water access is a problem that must be overcome when starting or enlarging any mining project, and a lack of sufficient water in arid regions can be a deal-killer. Another water problem associated with mining (especially coal mining) is that wastewater is often too saline ...

Desalination in the Caribbean

On Aruba and some other Caribbean islands, a lack of rainfall makes desalination a logical choice for ensuring potable water supplies. Islands have long relied on the process to supplement natural water supplies More than 7,000 islands of the Caribbean Archipelago are scattered over a million-square-mile area between North and South America. Some smaller islands are naturally dry, but ...

How is GWT's Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plant Different from Others?

A seawater reverse osmosis plant by definition utilizes the separation of salts and other mineral molecules from water. Freshwater supplies in some parts of the world are dwindling, hard to come by, or are heavily polluted. These are aspects of the growing epidemic of water scarcity.To reduce the strain on freshwater sources, we have to look elsewhere for water and there are no larger sources ...

Toxic brine from desalination plants

A new study has highlighted the problem of brine discharged from desalination plants. More than half the brine comes from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Qatar, with Saudi Arabia alone accounting for 22%. 3 countries - the Maldives, Malta and the Bahamas - meet all their water needs with desalination. Not surprising when you see the islands from the air: The number of ...

Enhanced Evaporation Lowest Wastewater Treatment Cost

When considering wastewater treatment cost, enhanced evaporation should be at the forefront of your discussion since the per 1000 gallons of evaporated wastewater is the lowest in the marketplace. Usually, evaporation ponds are designed and engineered solely on local pan evaporation rates. However, adding an efficient enhanced evaporation system will accelerate removal and withdraw the burden ...

Barona Resort & Casino, California - Case study

In mid 2007, AdEdge was contacted by Pacific Advance Civil Engineering group (PACE) to assist a Native American Tribe in Southern California near San Diego to provide a packaged treatment system for uranium removal. The Barona Band of Indians owns and operates the water system serving the Barona Resort and Casino. Water from three existing wells combines together with an average uranium ...

Separation study of Mg+2 from seawater and RO brine through a facilitated bulk liquid membrane transport using 18-Crown-6

A facilitated bulk liquid membrane transport approach is studied for Mg(II) extraction from seawater and reversed osmosis brine simulated media using 18-Crown-6 and dibenzo (DB)-18-Crown-6. The work is based on investigating the experimental parameters affecting the transport efficiency, such as pH of feed and receiving phase, type of membrane solvent, temperature, type and concentration of ...

Study of dilution, height, and lateral spread of vertical dense jets in marine shallow water

This study provides information for the design of sea outfalls to dispose of brine from desalination plants into shallow lagoons of the sea. The behavior of vertical dense jets was studied experimentally by discharging cold saline water vertically upward into a tank filled with hot freshwater under stagnant ambient conditions. The minimum return point dilution, μmin, was determined using ...

Contaminants of emerging concern in reverse osmosis brine concentrate from indirect/direct water reuse applications

Water shortage is becoming more common due to droughts and global population increases resulting in the increasing popularity of water reuse to create new water sources. Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane systems are popular in these applications since they can produce drinking water quality effluent. Unfortunately, RO systems have the drawback of generating concentrate streams that contain ...
