Abstract

I Nuusbrief van die Waternavorsingskommissie Newsletter of the Water Research Commission FEBRUARIE 1985 ESCOM to use tubular RO: S.A. DESALINATION TECHNOLOGY SCORES The manufacture of a tubular RO system for an industrial wastewater concentration plant represents a breakthrough for local desalination technology. In this regard a contract was recently awarded to Foster Wheeler by ESCOM for the construction of a plant for the desalination of cooling tower blowdown and other waste streams at ESCOM's Lethabo power station. Bintech technology (Bakke) will be In the mid-seventies the Water used for the RO membranes and Research Commission (WRC), in modules which will produce 6,5 Mf conjunction with the National Inper day of product water for reuse stitute for Water Research and the purposes. Institute for Polymer Science (IPS) of the University of Stellenbosch, decided on tubular reverse osmosis as an answer to some of South Africa's desalination problems. The WRC sponsored the IPS in its efforts to develop suitable membranes.
