Overview
TDS levels influence pre-treatment requirements, membrane performance, recovery rates, and post-treatment water quality. Variability in TDS readings from different instruments can lead to operational inefficiencies and affect equipment warranties. A series of lab-scale experiments will be conducted using four handheld conductivity meters and the Schneider Electric TDS Measurement Skid.
Key Facts
Artificial seawater will be prepared according to ASTM D1141-98, with TDS concentrations ranging from 500 to 40,000 ppm. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) will be used to validate the elemental composition of the samples.
The Conductivity and TDS Measurement Impact on Plant Design Projection and Energy Requirements (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) will examine how variations in device calibration, temperature (20–37 °C), and sample composition affect measurement accuracy. The outcomes will inform best practices for TDS monitoring and support improved desalination system design and operation.
