Desalination, desalinization, and desalination refer to any of several processes that remove some amount of salt and other minerals from saline water. More generally, desalination may also refer to the removal of salts and minerals, as in soil desalination.
Salt water is desalinated to produce fresh water suitable for human consumption or irrigation. One potential byproduct of desalination is salt. Desalination is used on many seagoing ships and submarines. Most of the modern interest in desalination is focused on developing cost-effective ways of providing fresh water for human use. Along with recycled wastewater, this is one of the few rainfall-independent water sources.
Due to relatively high energy consumption the cost of desalinating sea water are generally higher than the alternatives (fresh water from rivers or groundwater, water recycling and water conservation), but alternatives are not always available.
Watermax is committed to being the leader in membrane technology with a focus on breaking barriers related to pretreatment, energy recovery, and overall water recovery. We are progressively making strides in optimizing the lifecycle cost and increasing the reliability of Sea water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) installations for reverse osmosis desalination. Our approach is to take complete responsibility of SWRO installations to ensure complete design integration From intake to outfall, watermax can take single point responsibility.
- Capability to design and execute integrated desalination projects on an EPC basis
- Potabilization system design for Boron removal as per global standards
- In-house reverse osmosis desalination programming capabilities that lower overall start-up costs, improve reliability and ensure better plant availability
