DESALTING DIVISION
Chief Engineer:
Wu Yu-ngong, M.Eng., C.Eng., M.I.Mech.E.
11.65 The Division is now responsible for the erection, and on completion the operation, of the 40 million gallons per day capacity single purpose desalting plant for which civil engineering work was in hand at Lok On Pai, for completion by 1975. Design of the plant proper was undertaken by the consultants and owing to difficulties in recruitment of staff the agreement with them has been extended to include the manufacturing stage.
11.66 Recruitment of operations staff was under way during the year and some progress was made towards the appointment of the first section of the 195-man establishment required to operate the plant.
11.67 Experimental work at the 50,000 gallons per day pilot plant located at Lok On Pai was completed.

11.68 The pilot plant was shut down, removed to a temporary storage area and will be available for relocation if required later. The experiments undertaken enable clear conclusions to be drawn in respect of the most satisfactory materials for use, particularly in the manufacture of condenser tubes. Information was also obtained on the means of preventing hard scale deposits forming under the particular conditions prevailing in Hong Kong.
