Plant/Process Description:
The 30,000m³/day brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) plant at Spring Garden, St Michael, was built by Ionics Freshwater Ltd (an Ionics / Williams Industries JVC) under a build-own-operate contract awarded by the Barbados Water Authority (BWA).
A complete brackish water desalination system for
delivering 30,000 cubic meters per day of potable
water. Water from this plant passes all of the
internationally accepted biological and other
tests for water quality and the plant can supply
drinking water for up to 20% of the island's
population.
The heart of the plant is the RO system. Reverse Osmosis is a widely accepted membrane-based technology for
separating the incoming feedwater in a desalted
stream and a concentrated stream by application of
pressure. A combination of advanced membranes
operating at a low pressure and a single array to
reduce the plant's overall energy requirements and
provide high-quality drinking water.
In the desalination system, up to 75% of the pressurized
feedwater is recovered as freshwater. The
remaining portion of the high-pressure feedwater
concentrate is passed through an energy-recovery
turbine to minimize electrical consumption before
ti is returned to the sea via deep well injection.
