The main objectives of ASDECO

  •  To integrate different research capabilities to provide significant improvement in the automatic control of brine effluents from desalination plant.

  • To analyze the Ocean-Meteorological data related to brine effluent data in real time (all of which is registered and monitored by the ASDECO system).

  • To balance the marine assimilation capacity (physical, chemical and biological) and the environmental protection levels and to maximize the efficiency of brine dilution.

  • To carry out the environmental monitoring program required by the Environmental Impact Declaration in order to provide efficient management and environmentally friendly brine effluent.

  • To inform plant managers about marine ecosystem conditions in time and space and to alert them to both favorable and unfavorable conditions that require a different management protocol.
