Abstract

Production of low-salinity water from desalination of brackish and seawater results in a byproduct known as "concentrate" which has significantly increased total dissolved solids (TDS) relative to the source water. Disposal of this concentrate is becoming increasingly problematic. The goals of this project were to provide a comprehensive review and evaluation of the full range of potential beneficial and nontraditional uses of concentrate and to assess the feasibility of implementation, economic considerations, and environmental safety.
