will be introduced to prevent
corrosion and to preserve RO
membranes.
Design focus
The project is on track for
completion in June 2016, in
time for the summer months
when the plant might be called
upon to top up reservoirs if the
island experiences long periods
of low rainfall. Measures to use
existing buildings and ancillary
equipment to their maximum
potential have been crucial, but
above all a detailed design
focus, practical engineering
experience and a collaborative
approach will ensure a long
term and resilient solution for
Jersey Water.
Helier Smith, chief executive
at Jersey Water, says: "ACWA's
track record and international
experience with desalination
and advanced water treatment
technology, makes them a
perfect partner for this critical
water industry infrastructure
project on Jersey. With the
current plant at the end of its
serviceable life, ACWA's
solution will increase capacity
and resilience for the Island's
public water supply in times of
low rainfall and built-in energy
recovery will ensure that
running costs are lower when
the plant is online."
