The desalination plant produces 40,000 GPD of drinking water with TDS less than 350 mg/L from feed water with a TDS of about 42,000 mg/L at temperature range of 19 to 27°C. Trials concluded that acid injection could be suspended without affecting the operations of the plant. From its initial start-up in Dec 2008, the plant has been running smoothly with minimal trouble-shooting. As a result, the mall has a reliable and steady supply of potable water at a cost far less than shipping water to the site.
