Studies regarding the application and effectiveness of brackish and seawater desalination to augment
drinking water supplies have focused primarily on pretreatment challenges, process optimization, energy
efficiency and concentrate management; however, less has been documented with regards to post-treatment
requirements, water quality and secondary impacts. The behavior of desalinated water in the
distribution system remains largely undocumented, and potential issues that may arise after introducing
desalinated water into existing distribution systems include impacts on internal corrosion control,
disinfectants and disinfection byproducts, hydraulics, infrastructure maintenance, water quality,
aesthetics, and customer acceptance. This article discusses the post-treatment of synthetic membrane
processes used for desalting drinking water supplies. Includes 62 references, table, figures.
