Desalination of seawater and brackish water
Producing potable water from saline sources
Access to potable water is limited in numerous places around the globe, especially in coastal areas, island states and arid areas. In such places, one long-term solution for ensuring a water supply is to treat seawater and brackish water.
Requirements - Desalination of seawater and brackish water
Overview
Efficient desalination with ProMinent technologies
ProMinent develops powerful desalination systems, which remove more than 99 % of the salt content of seawater and brackish water using reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. The result is water of a potable water quality – ready to be used for drinking, hygiene or irrigation purposes.
Integrated pre- and post-treatment
For a long-term high water quality, ProMinent systems combine desalination with appropriate pre-treatment processes (e.g. filtration, metering antiscalants) and any post-treatment needed (e.g. remineralisation). This makes the water produced safe, stable and suitable for numerous uses.
Long-term operation with low operating costs
ProMinent’s systems are:
- Energy-efficient
- Stable in the long term for continuous operation
- Low maintenance
- User-friendly
There is also very little waste water – a key benefit in areas where water is very scarce.
