Abstract
A brine discharge assembly includes a discharge pipe having a body that defines an interior passage, a pipe inlet, and a pipe outlet spaced from the pipe inlet. The pipe inlet and pipe outlet are able to be in fluid communication with the interior passage, and the pipe is connectable to a source of brine and configured to convey the brine from the pipe inlet to the pipe outlet. The brine discharge assembly also includes a dilution assembly able to be connected to a source of liquid diluent. The dilution assembly includes one or more injectors and one or more ports, and is coupled to the pipe so that the one or more ports are able to be in fluid communication with the interior passage of the pipe intermediate the pipe inlet and pipe outlet. The one or more injectors are configured to inject the liquid diluent into the interior passage of the pipe through the one or more ports.
