• Interest rate: 6.5%

• Seawater intake pumps

• Coagulation, flocculation and Settling
• No Seawater prescreens
• Two stage sand filtration
• Pretreated Water Holding Tank
• Cartridge Filters for RO
• Number of RO units: 6
• Number of RO membranes per vessel: 7
• Expected RO membrane life: 5 years
• RO design recovery: 45%
• Design RO flux: 8 gfd
• Pretreatment coagulant dosage: 20 ppm FeCl3

ZW Pretreatment System:
• Plant life: 22 years
• Interest rate: 6.5%

• Seawater intake pumps

• Coagulation, flocculation and Settling
• Seawater pre-screens: 2 (1 mm)
• 10 trains ZW 1000 UF membrane filtration system
• ZW membrane life considered: 8 years
• No UF permeate holding tank required
• No Cartridge Filters for RO required
• Number of RO units: 6
• Number of RO membranes per vessel: 7
• Expected RO membrane life: 7 years
• RO design recovery: 50%
• Design RO flux: 10 gfd
• Pretreatment coagulant dosage: 10 ppm FeCl3
• Maintenance cleans and Recovery cleans as per UF system design
