Brine dilution involves mixing the concentrated brine with large volumes of seawater or wastewater to lower its salinity before discharge into the ocean. This method reduces the environmental impact on marine ecosystems.
• Applications: Coastal desalination plants, industrial facilities with access to seawater, and areas with strict regulations on brine discharge.
• Advantages: Reduces the harmful effects of high-salinity brine on marine life, ensures compliance with environmental regulations, and is relatively low-cost.
