Sistema de dessalinização da comunidade de Uruçu - São João do Cariri-PB: análises, monitoramento e avaliação de um misturador para o uso do concentrado.

Abstract

Membrane processes have been used as an alternative to produce drinking water in order to benefit small communities of the Brazilian Northeast Semi-Arid. However, there are still technical and environmental concern about the use of the concentrate produced in desalination process. This work aims to study the performance of a mixer, with the objective of classifying the salts dissolved concentrations that can be used at the algae and hydroponics production. The salts dissolved concentration has been evaluated by physicalchemical analyses and the desalination process monitoring. The results shows that chemical cleaning is an important maintenance that could set the quality and production of permeate water in potable requirements'. The results show the mixer as a main step that produces different salt concentrations water. The studies of simulations, laboratories experimental and the obtained data in the field were satisfactory, which shown the use of 37,5% of concentrated production.
