The paper describes the operational experience with the newly constructed SWRO plant in Jersey. The plant replaced a multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) plant, commissioned in 1970 by Weir Westgarth, which was operational until 1996. At the time of supply the MSF plant was considered to be the most

The need for a good quality water in the Canary Islands was, and continues to be, the driving force for the use of reverse osmosis to desalinate brackish water and seawater for irrigation and potable use. A number of case histories are presented which show the development of the use of reverse osmos

With an ever-growing world-wide demand for water and decreasing availability, emerging technologies such as ultrafiltration (UF) hold the key to future water treatment. Two applications to use unconventional sources for water production are described. The reuse of effluent of wastewater treatment pl

New products based on enhanced maleate chemistry have been developed to control the broad range of deposits found in thermal desalination plants. To investigate the performance characteristics of enhanced maleate products, laboratory tests were developed to measure the control of fouling species. Th
