Curious what JordProxa is specifying for the carbonate/crystallization trains - GSL chloride/sulfate brines will chew up 316 and lay down CaSO4/silica fast. Are they going 2205/2507 or Ti on wetted ends with a proper antiscalant + CIP/seeded-precip program, and how are they catching resin fines/Mg-B carryover so ops isn’t clearing filters every shift?

GSL brine is brutal on downstream conversion: high Mg/Ca/SO4 wrecks uptime and packs MVR tubes with scale if pretreat and seeding are not dialed in. Is the train set up with duplex or 6Mo wetted parts, double-pass lime/caustic softening and a boron polish, then seeded DTB crystallizers with MVR, and what Na/Mg/Ca ppm are you guaranteeing in the carbonate?
