Fully agree, as per my desalination plant experience over the past 38 years. Continuous, low dosage chlorination of raw seawater feed breaks down the humic and fulvic acid organic compounds and makes them digestible as food by bacteria, which otherwise they are not, thus it actually promotes favorable conditions to biological activity and membrane biofouling. Besides, effective seawater disinfection requires a 3-log reduction of bacterial colonies, which only shock chlorination, with 5 ppm at frequencies and durations adjusted seasonally and according to site conditions, can achieve.
