โฆ Synopsis
The need for appropriate technical specifications for building R-0.
plants is discussed in this paper.
Especially in the Middle
East region, where the demand for R.O. plants is increasing, the requirements must be carefully defined, particularly in view of the high salinity and high temperature of the seawater in this region. This paper outlines our company's approach for the design and preparation of tender documents for seawater R.O. plants. This approach is illustrated with a typical example: the seawater R-0. plant at Ajman, United Arab Emirates, for which tenders have been received recently.

Bechtel Group, Incorporated, undertook a comprehensive parametric technical and economic study of seawater reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plants. The objective was to derive updated costs for plants ranging from 100,000 gpd to 5 million gpd at a Caribbean site and at a continental U.S. site. The
As the size of SWRO plants grow, more attention must be paid to the overall design aspects of the total plant. Some of these are simplifying and improving the pretreatment; reducing the pretreatment chemicals; systems optimization to match sea water conditions and; component size selections. The op
