Method for Disposal of Reverse Osmosis Concentrate of Thermal Power Plants

Currently, thermal power plants make the largest contribution to the production of electricity. In order to compensate for the loss of steam and condensate, many thermal power plants use membrane methods, such as reverse osmosis systems, to prepare additional water. However, the use of reverse osmosis systems results in the production of highly mineralized concentrate, which cannot be discharged into surface water bodies or sewage systems without prior treatment. The article discusses the possibility of using reverse osmosis concentrate from thermal power plants as mineralized water for injection into oil reservoirs in order to increase the oil displacement coefficient.
