Five Years of Experience With Desalinization at Morro Bay
This article discusses the use of seawater evaporators at the Morro Bay, California, plant, which proved to be the least costly method of producing a freshwater supply for the plant. This demonstrates that it is possible to locate a plant on the seashore if the site is desirable but does not have freshwater. The submerged‐tube evaporator sets for Units 1 and 2 were effective for producing freshwater from seawater. The use of copper‐bearing, carbon‐steel‐welded shells for the evaporator shells was satisfactory, although some corrosion did occur. Scale control was maintained at a small cost of 2.5 cents per 1,000 gal of freshwater. The total cost of freshwater at full capacity was estimated to be $2.50 per 1,000 gal, with fuel costing 35 cents per 1,000,000 Btu. This cost can be reduced with newer types of seawater evaporators.
