Resumen:
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.
