Multiple Effect Evaporators replaced with Algal Technology
Phycospectrum Environmental Research Centre (PERC) from India has developed and successfully demonstrated microalgae based technology for reverse osmosis at Brintons Carpets Asia Pvt ltd, India.
The R/O reject from Brintons has a TDS of 20,000 to 25,000 mg/L and this was continuously 
loaded into a 10 KL demonstration plant in which selected microalgae were also grown. The effluent with algae was allowed to run on a slope, dried and the algae biomass produced was collected on a regular basis.
The system has started producing around 0.75g of dry algal biomass per litre per day. This successful implementation has proved the efficiency of an algae-based evaporation system in replacing multiple effect evaporators for handling high TDS waste streams like R/O rejects of various industries, such as textile and leather industries.

We know that technology developing day by day and this new changing and upcoming technology will helps us more. But, can you let us no more about previous system? There is any bad site or what is good site?
