DESALINATION
The process of colonization and incrustation of organisms in hard and soft substrates in the seabed is a natural phenomenon of relationship between the biotic and abiotic elements of a marine system.
Epibiotic organisms, such as bivalve molluscs, barnacles, sea squirts, bryozoans, sponges and some species of polychaetes adhered to a substrate, form the most representative encrusting communities. The colonization of a new substrate is carried out in four successive steps: chemical conditioning, bacterial colonization, unicellular eukaryote, and multicellular eukaryote. Breaking the colonization process is the first step to prevent fouling. |

The invasive and embedding process and the application models according to very determining factors when deciding a type of action.
The whole system is connected but the characteristics and dimensions of the infrastructures and the interrelation of the biotic and abiotic elements in each of these parts of the system are different. The effects will be too, and the solutions will have to be adapted. On the other hand, the physical-chemical conditions of the water and all the variables that intervene in the preliminary analysis to the study of the treatment model, differ remarkably according to the location of the mass of water object of the control model and also the preparation of the tables that will allow us perform the treatment design. In an advanced embedding process, such as this action, we will treat the problem by dividing the capture system into the following areas or zones: Critical Zone: Includes the catchment tower High Risk Zone: It includes the section of the pipeline between the intake tower and the first 100 meters. Medium Risk Zone: Includes the pre-pumping and pumping chambers of the desalination plant |
