Optimization of maintenance and chemical cleaning methods for shipboard seawater desalination plants

Abstract

Desalination plants play a critical role in providing fresh water to regions with limited freshwater resources. These plants utilize advanced technologies to extract salt and impurities from seawater, providing a sustainable source of drinking water. This paper discusses optimal maintenance strategies for desalination plants with a particular focus on addressing water supply issues. A detailed analysis of chemical treatment methods is presented, considering the unique aspects of water treatment in desalination processes. The article reviews current approaches, including non-disassembling and disassembling methods, providing a comprehensive overview of their application in desalination. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed in detail, emphasizing their impact on water quality and overall durability of desalination systems. This article is of practical importance in the field of desalination, offering valuable insights for improving maintenance efficiency and solving operational problems, ultimately ensuring the longevity and reliability of desalination plants.
