Spheros Environmental Group conducted the modeling for the study. Spheros found that desalination would increase stratification — brine discharge — into the ship channel by 2 PPT a day. PPT measures the weight of dissolved salts in grams per thousand grams of water. Outside the ship channel, Spheros found the discharge would be less than 0.5 PPT.
Committee member David Loeb said the study results are good news and that the Inner Harbor is the right location for the project…
