The purpose of this study at Reynolds Desalination Facility (RDF), owned and operated by Sweetwater Authority in Chula Vista, California, was to determine the effectiveness of antiscalant without
the addition of sulfuric acid into the reverse osmosis (RO) feedstream. If successful, full scale RO
processes will be able to eliminate the sulfuric acid system and all support equipment
required to handle, store and post-treat permeate water as a result of increased CO<sub>2</sub>. The
pilot study will be considered successful if the normalized flow rates of the pilot unit are
at or above historical normalized flow rates for the full operating system. This paper details testing procedures, operational performance, decision criteria, and
long term impacts, both financially and performance based, from the full scale plant
operations at RDF. Includes tables, figures.
