Given the uncertainty regarding the performance of the outfall diffuser designed during the Preliminary Project and Environmental Impact Study phase, INCREA was requested to conduct a comprehensive initial dilution study (using the CORJET model) with a twofold objective: To calculate the initial dilution during the different operating phases of the desalination plant. To calculate the number of nozzles that must remain open in each operating phase to ensure correct initial dilution. The characteristics of the brine discharge are: A diffuser section 200 m in length, with 20 nozzles spaced 10 m apart, a discharge angle of 45º, and a nozzle diameter of 198 mm. . Discharge depth of 21.2 m. Variable flow rate depending on the number of lines. Salinity: 73 psu
