Abstract
The Larnaca SWRO desalination plant has successfully operated for more than 6 years. It was one of the first major SWRO plants to have a tight boron specification. With some management of the membrane elements at the site, the plant has consistently met the water quality and quantity requirements of their customer. The unique plant design allows for changes in the second pass that optimize the power requirements, while ensuring boron quality is just made. This has made the plant very efficient and cost-effective. The performance of the SWRO and BWRO elements has met expectations and performed stably for a number of years. As a result, this process design has become a proto-type for other SWRO plants with tight (especially boron).
