Water Treatment
Improvement over expected availability from typical land-based desalination plants
. Calculation considers annual downtime due to mechanical failure and
maintenance of every system, including
intake, pretreatment, SWRO, brine discharge and permeate conveyance
. High availability obtained by built in redundancy:
. Installed stand-by pumps
. Installed stand-by SWRO module – minimize availability reduction due to
membrane replacement or cleaning
. No annual downtime due to sea water quality issues – very favorable raw
water quality at 400m depth, avoiding
algae blooms, jelly fish or hydrocarbon spillage which often reduce
terrestrial plants availability
. No annual downtime due to permeate water quality non-compliance – no
variation in the feed water quality
resulting in no variation in the permeate water quality
