Abstract
Global inland desalination practices can provide insights for addressing inland desalination concentrate management challenges in the United States. Such challenges have recently prompted increased consideration of high-recovery (volume reduction) processing and selective salt recovery—a possibility associated with high-recovery processing. Because of high capital and operating expenses, high-recovery processing has not been used in the US municipal industry. However, the approach is used with growing frequency in other industries in which economics more easily allow such expenditures.
