Abstract
When producing water using desalination technologies, significant volumes of highly concentrated brines are formed. The solution of the problem of wastes recycling is an important global issue for water protection organizations, and the studies of the last decade confirm this. The article discusses an environmentally friendly method of dispersed uniform brine discharge into the water area, presents the developed technical solution and describes the principle of its operation. As an example, the authors calculate the hole diameters of the distribution pipeline for uniform brine discharge along the length. We calculated the radius and the scattering jet rate at a given distance from the hole in the distribution pipeline. The difference in brine salt concentrations at a depth of 20 m from the discharge point between the background concentration in the sea and the salt concentration was found to be from 0.439 % to 0.524 % along the length of the discharge pipeline. Dissolution of brines to safe concentrations becomes even more intense in the presence of sea currents. The research results can be used in the design and operation of such systems.
