A novel tool for modeling the near- and far-field dispersion of brine effluent from desalination plants

A novel tool for modeling the near- and far-field dispersion of brine effluent from desalination plants

Regardless of the specific technology adopted, the use of desalination to produce fresh water from seawater results in a discharge of brine effluent containing a high concentration of salts and other desalination by-products that must be dealt with appropriately. Until now, this effluent has most co...
