I work 2x100 MW Steam Power Plant. We have two units of Desalination plant, Unit 5 and Unit 6. The type of the these desalination plant is Once Through Multi Stage Flash (MSF) Desalination Plant. The maximum production rate is 1000 ton/day/unit. Last few days, we have a unique problem in our desalination plant. The distillate water, the product of desalination plant,have a low conductivity. It's about 6 microsiemens/cm (lower than 10 uS/cm). But the chlorine concentration is very high. It's about 2400 ppm, even more. My questions are:
1. Could yuo give the cause of this unique problem in our desalination plant (Low conduct, but high Cl Concentration)
2. Could you give us solution to overcome this problem.
Thanks a lot.

Have an instrument technician verify that the conductivity meter is working properly.
