Seawater desalination is a coastal-based industry. The growing
number of desalination plants worldwide and the increasing size of
single facilities emphasises the need for greener desalination
technologies and more sustainable desalination projects. Two
complementing approaches are the development and implementation of
best available technology (BAT) standards and best practice
guidelines for environmental impact assessment (EIA) studies. While
BAT is a technology-based approach, which favours state of the art
technologies that reduce resource consumption and waste emissions,
EIA aims at minimizing impacts at a site- and project-specific
level through environmental monitoring, evaluation of impacts, and
mitigation where necessary. This book contains a comprehensive
evaluation and synthesis of the potential environmental impacts of
desalination plants, with emphasis on the marine environment and
aspects of energy use, followed by the development of strategies
for impact mitigating. A concept for BAT for seawater desalination
technologies is proposed, in combination with a methodological
approach for the EIA of desalination projects. The scope of the EIA
studies are outlined, including environmental monitoring, toxicity
and hydrodynamic modelling studies, and the usefulness of
multi-criteria analysis as a decision support tool for EIAs is
explored and used to compare different intake and pre-treatment
options for seawater reverse osmosis plants.
