The document summarizes the Perth Seawater Desalination Plant in Western Australia. Some key details:
- The plant has a capacity of 144 megalitres per day and cost $317 million. It uses seawater reverse osmosis technology and has a specific energy consumption of 3.59 kWh/cubic meter.
- The plant sources seawater through an intake system and screens before dual media filtration, cartridge filters and a two-pass RO system. Energy recovery devices are used.
- Extensive monitoring shows the brine outlet has negligible environmental impacts due to validated diffuser design and suspended solids treatment. The plant helps drought-proof the city.
