What is the maximum final distillate salinity indicator reading?

The maximum final distillate salinity indicator reading is 0.065 EPM (electrical conductivity in equi-potential meter). This value is derived from the operational standards set for desalination processes, particularly in marine applications where water purity is crucial. A reading of 0.065 EPM is considered the acceptable limit for distillate water, ensuring it meets safety and quality standards for use aboard naval vessels.

Salinity readings above this threshold could indicate that the desalination process is not adequately removing salt and other impurities from the water, potentially affecting the quality of water used for various purposes, including boiler feed water or potable water. The specific value of 0.065 EPM is set to balance operational efficiency and water quality, ensuring that the produced distillate does not negatively impact the equipment that uses it or the health of personnel consuming it.
