Treatment of Saline Groundwater and Surface Water

There is still a clear need for research in the treatment of saline groundwater and surface water. The challenges here lie primarily in reducing operating and maintenance costs, increasing energy efficiency, targeting the management of impurities and raw materials and handling and reducing brine using environmentally sound methods. There is great potential in the areas of process control dynamisation, as well as the monitoring and optimisation of desalination plants and processes.
