Thermal Desalination Output Affected by Chlorine Dosing
Published on by Soloman Prince, Plant General Manager at FAPCO in Technology
We have Thermal Desalination units working on a multi-effect principle, 8.33MIGD capacity. Whenever a chlorine is dosed to control biofouling, we see a drop in distillate output.
Can anyone explain why this happens? We suspect change in surface tension of sea water that affects flashing.
