<br />then flows into the bypass drain that carries the reject <br />water to the Gulf of California at the Santa Clara Slough. <br /> <br />The Yuma Desalting Plant is designed so that from over <br />100 million gallons of water per day that flows into the <br />plant, the plant produces 73 million gallons per day of <br />desalted water that flows from the plant, which can then be <br />delivered to Mexico. <br /> <br />Although the plant was initially designed to desalt 96 <br />million gallons per day, only 73 million gallons of <br />desalting equipment has been installed. The desalted water <br />will be blended with untreated drainage water to produce <br />the desired salinity level, reducing the costs of <br />construction and desalting. <br /> <br />Inside the Yuma Desalting Plant is another smaller <br />desalting plant, capable of desalting one million gallons of <br />water per day. It's called the Test Train and serves several <br />functions. <br /> <br />It's used to train operators; to test new types of reverse <br />osmosis membranes; to try out different chemical <br />treatments of the water; to develop and test new hardware <br />and software; and to experiment with changes to the <br />desalting process before using those changes on a larger <br />scale in the main plant. <br /> <br />c:lpeotod\OO1ptO\model.d1p (modol.oty) 7 <br />
