✦ Synopsis

Laboratory studies, using synthetic brine, have shown that it is possible to quantify the thermotiynamic driving force for the formation of alkaline scales by a consideration of saturation pH values for the various scaling species. Scaling potential profiles, using this concept, are presented to illustrate this point and demonstrate how the driving force may be measured at various points in the unvented sections of an operating HSF plant.

The trend of building large desalination water stations with a large number of parallel units of 5-6 migd each is critically exammed. The opportunity to increase unit size to 12-13 migd for cross tube and to 20-25 nngd for long tube geometry has been discussed previously [l] . In this paper optlrnal
