Water Desalination Equipment
Water desalination equipment removes dissolved salts from water. Membrane and thermal routes separate freshwater through different physical processes.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Water Desalination Equipment refers to devices designed to desalinate both brackish or sea water, in order to produce high quality potable, industrial water, etc. In water desalination process, there are mainly two methods, namely Multi-Stage Flash (MSF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) method.
Reverse osmosis applies pressure to drive water through a selective membrane. Feed salinity, temperature and recovery influence pressure and energy duty.
Pretreatment, fouling control and concentrate handling affect the complete installation. Product-water capacity is different from feed-flow capacity.
What turns activity into demand
Demand follows accepted product-water duties and the selected separation route. Membrane elements, skids, pretreatment and complete desalination plants have separate scope.
The commercial boundary
Membrane elements, skids, pretreatment and complete desalination plants have separate scope.
