CONCEPTION OF GEOTHERMAL WATER DESALINATION IN THE CONTEXT OF IMPROVEMENT WATER BALANCE. PART II – THE RESULTS OF PRELIMINARY STUDY

Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2011, Vol 445, Issue 445

Abstract

The paper presents the results of studies related to the desalination of low dissolved mineral content geothermal waters from the Bańska IG 1 well using a dual hybrid system based on ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. The desalination of geothermal waters may be considered a possible solution leading to the decentralisation of drinking water supply. In many cases, using cooled waters for drinking purposes may be considered an alternative method of disposing of them, in particular for open drain arrangements, i.e. where cooled water is dumped into surface waters. However, the utilisation or disposal of the concentrate in a fashion that is safe for the environment is an important part of the arrangement.
