Floating covers can be utilized in desalination plant storage facilities for certain applications where evaporation is not the goal. For example, when large quantities of water, such as brine or other byproducts of the desalination process, need to be stored for reprocessing or reuse, floating covers can help control evaporation and reduce the entry of contaminants.
The choice of materials for these covers is crucial to ensure compatibility with the specific characteristics of desalination byproducts. While not a universal solution for all desalination plant storage needs, floating covers can play a role in addressing certain challenges associated with water conservation and environmental protection within these facilities.
