“…The HTC was widely accepted from users because it had many advantages such as ensuring operation flexibility (which was a disadvantage of the Pelton wheel and Francis turbine), it was applicable with Duplex fabrication to prevent corrosion, and has a high-energy recovery efficiency (90% at maximum) [ 55 ]. As HTC was available for the brine conversion system (BCS), which will be described later, it was adopted at Maspalomas II SWRO Seawater Desalination Plant in Gran Canaria, Spain [ 57 ].…”

“…It is boosted to 10 MPa and supplied into the second-stage RO, which produces 33% of the first-stage brine (namely, 20% of feed seawater), in total, 60% of the feedwater is able to be produced as permeate in this system. BCS can easily be retrofitted into the conventional single stage, and realizes 1.5 times the product compared to the single stage [ 57 ]. To realize a BCS at seawater desalination, a membrane element with high-pressure resistance such as 10 MPa is required.…”

Seawater desalination plants that use reverse osmosis (RO) membranes have become a core part of social infrastructure, and should be designed to meet the needs of product water quality and production capacity, while considering various environmental factors such as the seawater quality, temperature and geographical features. Furthermore, stable operation while overcoming various problems should be achieved alongside the increasing demands for energy saving and cost reduction. As no universal plant apparatus and operation technology meets these various requirements, the plants need to be customized for individual solutions. This paper reviews and summarizes the proven technologies, including their advantages/disadvantages, and points to cutting-edge technologies related to the design and operation maintenance of seawater intake, pre-treatment and the RO desalination process.

Factors such as population increase and industrialization, coupled with the establishment of touristic villages, have necessitated an upgradation of water treatment plants (WTPs) in Egypt. In this study, three different water source alternatives were designed and compared with a simple decision matrix to select the most appropriate one for upgrading and extending the Mariout 2 WTP. The first two alternatives are located on the k-40 Alex-Cairo desert road and k-77 EL Nasr canal, respectively, where the water source is obtained from the Nile River. The third alternative is located at the k-51 Alex-Matrouh coastal road and a non-conventional seawater source is used. The design results showed that the required energy power of the first, second, and third alternatives were 0.31, 0.066, and 0.72 kw/purified m3, respectively. The operational costs of the first, second, and third alternatives were 0.665, 0.426, and 6.621 EGP/m3, respectively. The cost of the intake pipes was found to be the lowest for the third alternative, whereas it was found to be the highest for the first one. Based on the results obtained from the decision matrix, the third alternative was found to be the most appropriate alternative followed by the second one. This study may assist in making decisions regarding the water source selection and treatment methods for the extension of the fourth stage of the Mariout 2 WTP.
