Our Chinese partner, Tianjin Desalination Institute, actively participated in the development of these standards, highlighting their expertise and contribution to the desalination industry. Below are the details of the newly released standards:

1. HY/T 0430-2024: "Determination of Scale Inhibition Performance of Antiscalants for Multi-Effect Distillation Desalination: Calcium Sulfate Deposition Method"

2. HY/T 0431-2024: "Determination of Scale Inhibition Performance of Antiscalants for Low-Temperature Multi-Effect Desalination: Artificial Seawater Calcium Carbonate Deposition Method"

·Scope:

oThe first standard applies to the evaluation of the scale inhibition performance of antiscalants in preventing calcium sulfate scaling in multi-effect distillation desalination.

oThe second standard is used to measure the scale inhibition performance of antiscalants targeting calcium carbonate scaling in low-temperature multi-effect desalination.

·Significance:

oCurrently, there are no domestic or international evaluation standards for the performance of antiscalants in desalination processes.

oThese standards provide a technical foundation for assessing the performance of antiscalants, while also standardizing and advancing the development of distillation-based desalination technology.

3. HY/T 0432-2024: "Aluminum Alloy Heat Exchange Tubes for Distillation Desalination"

·Scope: Specifies the technical requirements, testing methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation, and storage of aluminum alloy heat exchange tubes for distillation desalination.

·Significance:

oRegulates technical standards for aluminum alloy heat exchange tubes in desalination.

oProvides a reference for the design, development, and acceptance of desalination equipment.

oEnhances the material application technology and performance indicators in the distillation desalination field.

oGuides the nonferrous metals industry in developing high-corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy heat exchange tubes with independent intellectual property rights for desalination.

oContributes to the advancement of China’s desalination technology and enhances its influence in the international desalination industry.

These standards will play a crucial role in supporting technological advancements, ensuring the quality of materials and processes, and fostering the sustainable development of the desalination sector.
