Design solutions are offered for obtaining demineralized seawater for filling and replenishing loops and full-value potable water to meet the needs of service personnel as well as design solutions for disposal of the wastewater resulting from desalination without causing the environmental damage at the El-Dabaa NPP (under construction in Egypt). The proposed engineering solutions are based on microfiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and filtration and reagent conditioning of desalinated water. Wastewater disposal, taking dilution into account, into the Mediterranean Sea is setup 550 m from the shoreline.
