It would be interesting if they reprocess the reject and make sea salt out of it. That way there wouldnt be any waste!

The amount of brackish water that’s produced is huge. The operation to reclaim the salt would be uneconomical. I am sure salt mines can produce much more salt per kg of energy spent than a desalination plant.

That is probably true, but they could just put it on a pad and let the sun dry it out. It is a lot of brackish water, though. Do you know what is involved with the nano filtration?
