Abstract

A new hybrid chemical treatment of the seawater feed for MSF distillation plants is described. The treatment consists of combined acid and polyelectrolyte as developed and used for several years at the Terneuzen and other plants in Holland. The advantages of increased output and longer plant life, and of decreased capital, operating, and maintenance costs are discussed. A specific study is made of applying the treatment to the 210 mIgd Jubail II plant in Saudi Arabia to show how the plant output can be increased by 64% to 344 mIgd without installing any new units. This hybrid treatment can be used to good advantage in any MSF plant, existing or new.
