Abstract: A local backwashing apparatus 110 for a filtering system comprises an enclosure 119 having an open lower end, positionable above a surface of filter media 92 supported by a drainage layer 96. The enclosure is connected to a mechanical member (300, FIG. 6A) configured to force the enclosure into the filter media and release the force prior to the lower end of the enclosure contacting the drainage layer. The lower end of the enclosure being brought into contact with the drainage layer through a pressure differential between the interior and exterior of the enclosure. A pneumatic system such as an air pump, is in fluid communication with the upper part 127 of the enclosure and is configured to determine an air pressure therein. A pipe system connects the upper part of the enclosure with the pneumatic system and with a discharge structure 132. A control unit is connected to the pneumatic system. Also disclosed is a method of backwashing a filtering system. The backwashing apparatus may be used to pre-treat water.

Abstract: A method and system for cleaning a multistage evaporator, the evaporator having a normal operational mode and a cleaning mode and having at least two groups of effects (2, 4), each group having one or more effects. In a normal operational mode, input vapor is introduced to a first group of effects (2), the first group comprising the hottest effects, and then vapor is delivered from the first group to a second group of effects (4), and optionally, from the second group of effects to a third group of effects (6) and so on depending on the total number of effects. Upon detection of a predetermined level of scale formation in the first group of effects, the evaporator is switched to a cleaning mode wherein the first group of effects (2) is physically separated from the other groups of effects and the input vapor is re-directed into the second group of effects (4). A cleaning agent is introduced into the physically separated first group of effects (2) until a predetermined level of cleanliness is achieved.

Abstract: A desalination system (100) having an intake unit (110) providing seawater to a pre-treatment unit (120) connected to a reverse osmosis (RO) desalination unit (130) and a post treatment unit (150). The desalination system (100) is configured to operate without any external addition of chemicals to simplify logistics and regulation concerns. The units of the system are configured to prevent biofouling, scaling and corrosion by mechanical and biological means including high flow speeds, biological flocculation of colloids, and making the water entering the RO units inhospitable to bacteria and other organisms that cause biofouling, hence preventing their settlement and removing them with the brine. Recovery rate is lowered and energy is recovered to increase the energetic efficiency and minerals that are added to the product water are taken from the brine.
