Abstract

The centralized water supply model is not suitable for desalinated water supply. The quality-specific water supply mode provides new ideas for water supply in seaside cities. Qingdao as a coastal city with abundant water resources, water supply complex design is first committed in Dongjiakou Economic Zone. The separate water supply system is applied in the Zone, the life and environment water supplied from municipal system, the industry process water comes from seawater and desalination water. The thermal power plant situates next the desalination plant, the seawater after used for cooling of the thermal power plant will be treated in desalination plant and used for industry process, as the purification water directly using in the industry process, the further treatment units will be not needed, the cost for the water advanced treatment in the industry will also be saved, and this is an example of circular economy.
