Basal aquifer water was treated using UF, RO, and evaporation-crystallization.
The RO permeate TDS levels were below the maximum target of 1000 mg/L.
Membrane autopsies indicated that iron was the primary foulant on the membranes.
Softening of the RO reject was required to avoid scaling in the evaporator.
The ZLD approach was effective to produce freshwater and minimize brine discharges.
