Summary

To improve the performance of MSF desalination plants, it is necessary to decrease the sulphate content of seawater feeding the plant in order to avoid the scaling of the heat transfer surfaces. The DESULF process, an ion-exchange seawater treatment, which uses a weak anionic resin (regenerated with the plant blow-down to remove sulphates)has been tested.

Data from an actual full-scale plant, treating 3360 m3 /d of seawater, are presented together with future applications.
