Optimization of Outfall Systems in RO Desalination Plants (Case study: Bandar Abbas Desalination)
Authors
Abstract:
The outfall system is a medium to discharge the liquid waste generated by desalination plants, refineries and power plants to the marine environment. Optimal design and operation of an outfall system reduces the concentration of pollutants returned to the marine environment. Numerous researches have been carried out to study the different elements of outfall systems and related design basics. These studies can be generally divided into three distinct sections: hydraulic design of discharge system, near-field and far-field flow dynamics. In this paper, the outfall system of Bandar Abbas desalination plant is designed and optimized in accordance with an optimization algorithm. For this purpose, the requirements and design criteria of outfall systems are presented and the hydraulic design and salinity distribution are discussed, using CorHyd and VISJET models.

Desalination was for long considered a technology too expensive to adopt in most arid countries except those with large reserves of fossil fuels and affluent economies. Recent advances in desalination technology have abolished this old paradigm and have increased its market share in many arid and semi-arid countries. Nevertheless, the introduction of a desalination plant will inevitably be asso...

In the seawater desalination field, WHO requires the boron concentration in drinking water to be below 0.5 mg/l, and this requirement has affected SWRO process design, because of the difficulty to achieve such low boron concentration. In order to overcome this problem, a new SWRO membrane element, which had higher boron rejecting performance, was developed. This new SWRO membrane element exhibi...
