물 전문기업 바이워터(Biwater)는 캘리포니아에서 2개의 담수화 플랜트 확장 프로젝트를 위한 역삼투압 장비를 설계·공급·감독·설치하는 계약을 빠른 시일 내에 체결할 예정이다. 바이워터는 치노(Chino) 지역에서의 치노 담수화 3단계 확장 계획 및 토런스(Torrance) 지역에서의 골즈워디(Goldsworthy) 담수화 확장 프로젝트 등에 주목해 왔다.

 

치노 지역 담수화 확장 계획은 시설 내 멤브레인 처리 증가로 7.2Ml/일 규모로 처리용량을 늘어날 예정이다. 이번 확장은 3단계 담수화 확장 계획으로 추진되어 확장 운영 시 유연성과 효율성을 제공할 것으로 보인다.

 

 

 

Water project company, Biwater, is soon to begin work on contracts for the design, supply and supervision of installation of reverse osmosis (RO) equipment of two desalination expansion projects in California.

 

Biwater was awarded contacts for the Chino Desalter Phase 3 Expansion Plan in Chino and the Goldsworthy Desalter Expansion Project in Torrance.

 

The Chino expansion works will increase the facility's membrane treatment capacity by 7.2 Ml/d. The expansion supports The Chino Desalter Phase 3 Expansion Plan, which will provide operational flexibility and efficiency.

 

"The project will help the Chino Basin watermaster achieve hydraulic control of the Chino Basin to reduce or eliminate migration of brackish groundwater from the southern section of the basin into the Santa Ana River. The project will also address salinity issues that could limit future use of recycled water in the Chino Basin," said Biwater.

 

At the Torrance facility, Biwater will add 9.2 Ml/d in treatment capacity to Goldsworthy Desalter, to reduce the need for imported water. The project complements other initiatives in the region aimed at improving supply reliability.

 

"Biwater is considered a partner of choice for such expansion projects, with the company's extensive experience in desalination and membrane treatment in North America," said president of Biwater's Desalination and Membrane Treatment Sector, Jorg Menningmann.

 

Biwater's work on the projects will include testing and start up. The systems will be delivered semi-assembled and incorporate energy recovery.
