Desalination Technologies
Purifying sea water for drink and other purposes
Desalination separates dissolved salts and mineral components from saline water (seawater and brackish water) and effluent streams to produce drinking water, process water or pure water for industrial applications.
Benefits of Desalination
- Drinking water – from seawater, brackish water or where water is scarce;
- Compliance – with discharge and municipal standards;
- Resource recovery – such as water for reuse or even recovering precious metals such as nickel and copper;
- Purified water – for laboratory use.
Itechem offers various processes to achieve this, such as:
Membrane Technology (Reverse Osmosis)
Reverse osmosis membranes allow clean water from seawater, brackish water...
Thermal Evaporation
Thermal evaporators are used to boil highly saline and complex wastewater, thereby efficiently...
Ion-Exchange Technology
This process uses synthetic resins which adsorb ions or dissolved salts onto the resin.
