Résumé:
The present work has the objective to study the performance and maintenance of
desalination systems in the field in term of desalinated water production and its quality for
human being consumption. The following systems were studied: Riacho de Santo
Antonio/Sede (System I) and Sitio Tanque Raso (System II) both belong of Riacho de
Santo Antonio city. The measure variables and the variation of cation and anion
concentrations were evaluated before and after the process of membrane chemical cleaning
as function of time of operation. From this study it was done a balance of cost of
desalinated water per family which reached R$ 3.00 per month at water average
consumption of 2.7 liter per person day.
