✦ Synopsis

The VTE/MSF module being constructed at Fountain Valley California, is part of a supplemental water supply plant of advanced technology.

The plant combines waste water reclamation and sea water desalting to provide a good quality product water that will injected into the Orange County aquifer as a barrier to sea water intrusion and for replenishment of the aquifer. The design of the desalting plant provides a highly adaptable test vehicle for the development of technolom for the VTE/MSF process. The configuration of four VTE evaporative stages and six MSF preheat stages is designed to be expandable to a 12.5 to I5 mgd plant of sixteen evaporative stages and 30 stages of feed heating.
