✦ Synopsis

This paper discusses the cost-effectiveness of utilizing the B.C. process as a pretreatment to a demineraliser installed in a cogeneration plant. The regeneration cycle time of a demineraliser was extended from approximately 9 hours to almost 336 hours resulting in a substantial savings of the chemicals used for regeneration and minimum regenerant for deep well disposal. The pay back of the capital investment in the R.O. system was calculated to be less than two years.
