圣克鲁斯水务部和索克尔溪水区成立了scwd²工作组，以评估反渗透海水淡化。这两个机构都位于加利福尼亚州圣克鲁斯县，它们已确定海水淡化是解决现有水源短缺问题的最可靠、最灵活和总体最佳选择。如果实施海水淡化，一个全规模的工厂将被设计为每天生产250万加仑的渗透水。本文简要介绍了scwd²海水反渗透（SWRO）脱盐试验- 并给出了八个月试验的总结结果，这些试验比较了RO脱盐膜之前的替代预处理系统。包括数字。

The Santa Cruz Water Department and the Soquel Creek Water District have formed the scwd² Task Force to evaluate reverse osmosis seawater desalination. Both agencies, which are located in Santa Cruz County, California, have identified seawater desalination as the most reliable, flexible and overall best option for addressing shortfalls from existing water sources. If seawater desalination is implemented, a full-scale plant would be designed to produce up to 2.5 million gallons per day of permeate. This paper briefly describes the scwd² seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination pilot-scale study, and presents summary results from eight months of testing that compares alternative pretreatment systems before the RO desalination membranes. Includes figures.
