圣克鲁斯水务部和索克尔溪水区已经成立了SCWD²任务 强制评估反渗透海水淡化。这两个机构都位于圣克鲁斯 加利福尼亚州郡已将海水淡化确定为最可靠、最灵活、总体最佳的方法 解决现有水源短缺的选项。如果实施海水淡化 这座大型工厂的设计目标是每天生产250万加仑的渗透水。 本文简要介绍了SCWD²工作组海水反渗透（SWRO）脱盐中试规模 并给出了在反渗透前比较替代预处理系统的初步结果 脱盐膜。包括表格、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 Task Force seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination pilot-scale study, and presents initial results that compare alternative pretreatment systems before the RO desalination membranes. Includes tables, figures.
