 for Desalination Plants," Offshore Technology Conference, Vol. I, Apr. 1971, 

 pp. 1451-1462. 



Keywords: Desalination plant. Outfall pipeline 



Paper discusses the design of outfaU systems for the discharge of dense effluents from 

 coastal desalination plants. Vertically directed submerged jets, jets reaching the surface of 

 the receiving water, and jets inclined at angles of 30°, 45°, and 60° with the horizontal 

 were studied. An experimental model investigation and a numerical analysis, were carried 

 out for each case to determine which arrangement gave the maximum dilution. The diffuser 

 design principles are discussed, and conceptual designs and cost estimates were made and 

 compared for desalination plants of various sizes, ranging from 2 to 50 million gallons per 

 day.
