Drafting of Spence Desalination Plant Project (Chile)

DESCRIPTION:

Construction of a desalination plant with seawater collection, sifting, flotation, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis (45%), remineralization and water transport collector to the copper mining company Spence.

MAIN FEATURES:

• Guaranteed production flow: 69,120 m³ / day
• Flow design: 69,120 m³ / day
• Minimum flow: 23 040 m³ / day
• Salinity TDS input: 36,000-40,000mg / l
• Salinity TDS output: 3,000 mg / l
• Hardness as CaCO3: 50 mg / l
• Chloride output: 500 mg / l
• pH: 8.5

SCOPE OF WORK:

• Review of previous documentation.
• Data collection: raw water quality, drinking water consumption, demography, expected population growth, flow estimation, treatment needs, etc.
• Study of alternatives from the technical, economic, environmental and social point of view.
• Environment Effect investigation.
