Texas is known for its diverse landscapes, expansive ranches, and growing cities—but it also faces unique water quality challenges. One of the most pressing issues in many areas of the state is high salinity in Texas water supplies. Whether it’s due to natural geological conditions or human activity, elevated salt concentrations can affect everything from agricultural productivity to municipal water safety.
Understanding the causes and impacts of high salinity—and how to treat it—is essential for homeowners, farmers, industries, and local governments across Texas.


What Causes High Salinity in Texas Water?

Salinity refers to the presence of dissolved salts—primarily sodium, chloride, and sulfate—in water. In Texas, there are several common sources:
  • Geological Composition: In West Texas and parts of South Texas, groundwater travels through salt-rich rock formations, dissolving minerals along the way.
  • Drought and Evaporation: Prolonged droughts can concentrate salts in soil and surface water, especially in arid regions.
  • Agricultural Runoff: Fertilizers and irrigation practices can lead to salt accumulation in groundwater and rivers.
  • Oil & Gas Activity: Brine water from drilling operations can contaminate nearby wells or aquifers if not managed properly.
Regions such as the Permian Basin, Rio Grande Valley, and areas surrounding the Edwards Aquifer are especially prone to elevated salinity levels.


Why High Salinity Matters

Excess salinity isn’t just a matter of taste—it poses real challenges to health, agriculture, and infrastructure.


Health Effects

Water with high sodium or sulfate levels may not be suitable for individuals on restricted diets. Long-term exposure may also contribute to dehydration and gastrointestinal discomfort.


Agricultural Impact

Saline water damages crops, reduces soil fertility, and can alter irrigation systems over time—making it a major concern for Texas’ vast agricultural sector.


Infrastructure and Appliances

Salt-laden water corrodes plumbing systems, reduces appliance life spans, and increases maintenance costs for both residential and commercial properties.

Ultrafiltration (UF) has emerged as a powerful technology, offering a range of applications that contribute to sustainable and cost-effective solutions. In this blog post, we’ll explore the utility of ultrafiltration.

What is Ultrafiltration?

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a pressure-driven membrane filtration process that operates on the size exclusion principle. The UF process involves passing a liquid, often water, through a semipermeable membrane whose pores are small enough to allow water molecules to pass through but effectively block particles and contaminants above a specific size. 

 

UF membranes usually have pores between 0.001-0.05 μm, which falls between nanofiltration membranes and MF membranes. The process requires between 50 and 120 psi to function. 

 

Benefits of Ultrafiltration Water Treatment

 

Energy and Cost Saving

UF doesn’t require high pressure levels, therefore utilizing less energy and lowering costs.

Adaptable

UF easily handles different impurities and feedwater qualities, consistently producing clean output.

UF allows for the removal of impurities without compromising the essential mineral content, such as calcium and magnesium.

1. Potable Water Treatment

With its energy efficiency, compact design, and capacity for consistently purified water, ultrafiltration water filters have become a cornerstone in providing clean and safe drinking water for urban and rural communities. UF is particularly effective in removing suspended solids and colloidal particles, improving water clarity and safety. Moreover, UF is a crucial component in wastewater treatment that enables the recycling and reuse of water in both industrial and municipal settings.

2. Pre-Treatment for Industrial Reverse Osmosis (RO)

In many water treatment systems, ultrafiltration is a pre-treatment step for reverse osmosis. UF can efficiently remove larger particles and contaminants, preventing fouling and scaling on RO membranes. Pre-treatment not only enhances the longevity of the RO system but also improves its overall performance.

3. Oil and Gas Industry Processes

In the oil and gas sector, various production and refining stages require water. Ultrafiltration treats water for injection into reservoirs and to recycle and reuse water from these production processes. UF reduces the environmental impact and contributes to the overall sustainability of oil and gas operations.

Maintaining water filtration and purification systems ensures high-quality water in various industries. Whether it’s an RO, UF, NF, or UV system, regular service of key components helps certify optimal performance, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. If you choose to handle maintenance in-house or opt for professional services, a proactive approach will undoubtedly contribute to the sustained efficiency of your water treatment infrastructure.

Reverse Osmosis Systems

The heart of an RO system is its membrane filter. These semi-permeable membranes play a pivotal role in separating impurities from water. Over time, these membranes can accumulate deposits, leading to reduced performance. As a general guideline, membrane filters should undergo an inspection every six months to a year, with replacement every two to three years. However, the frequency may vary based on factors such as water quality, usage patterns, and the specific design of the filtration system.

 

Professional servicing is also a crucial aspect of RO system maintenance. Regular check-ups by qualified technicians can identify potential issues before they become major problems. Check-ups include inspecting and cleaning pre-filters, checking pressure levels, and ensuring the entire system operates within optimal parameters.

Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration Systems

Like RO systems, ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane systems require regular maintenance to ensure their effectiveness in water purification. For UF systems, routine checks on the membrane integrity and cleaning protocols are vital. UF membranes are prone to fouling due to the accumulation of particles, and regular cleaning can prevent a decline in performance. With a more intricate filtration process, NF systems may require specialized attention to maintain efficiency. Regular monitoring, cleaning, and replacing membranes as needed is essential.

Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems

Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems neutralize microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses, through exposure to UV light. While these systems are low-maintenance compared to membrane-based technologies, routine checks are still essential. The UV lamps in these systems have a finite lifespan and should be replaced according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, typically every 9 to 12 months. Additionally, periodic quartz sleeve inspections and cleaning may be necessary to ensure optimal UV transmission.

Benefits of Regular Maintenance

 

Enhanced Performance

Clean and well-maintained filters and membranes allow for efficient removal of impurities, ensuring that the treated water meets quality standards. This efficiency improves the water quality and contributes to energy savings and overall system reliability.

Understanding Seawater Reverse Osmosis - Advancees Equipment & Services

Understanding Seawater Reverse Osmosis

Understanding Seawater Reverse Osmosis

With so much of the earth’s surface covered in water, how is it even possible that so many people and businesses around the world do not have access to the water they need?  Of course, the answer is more simple than one may think. The vast majority of the water on the earth (over 95%) is found in oceans or seas. Therefore, only a very small percentage of water is freshwater.  Because of the high salt content, the majority of the available water is simply not useful in its natural form. 

The good news is that significant advancements in science and technology have been made that allow us to leverage the water of the oceans. Thus, Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) is a process that desalinates water containing a high concentration of salt. 

Because the increasing demand for fresh water is quickly decreasing the supply, this process is incredibly valuable.

Water from the ocean has a high salt content and also includes a host of chemical elements and dissolved solids including, but not limited to, potassium, limestone, and even sand. As a result, these components, in combination with the salt, make the water unfit for human consumption. Relying on it for hydration would be dangerous.

Easy Access to Oceans and Seas – Reverse Osmosis

Of course, this is incredibly unfortunate, as many of the areas of the world facing the largest water shortages have easy access to oceans and seas. Of course, by using reverse osmosis, the amount of salt in the water can be reduced to levels where it is safe to consume. 

That said, because of the high salt content and other contaminants, using reverse osmosis can be difficult. Thankfully, this is a challenge that has been met. Initially developed in the 1970s, seawater reverse osmosis systems have been used. While the process requires specialized systems and materials,  including high-pressure pumps, semi-permeable membranes, and pressure control valves, it is extremely cost-effective, efficient, and valuable. 

Use Natural Resources

Countries around the world, including Israel and many in Africa, use this system to provide clean drinking water to those who otherwise would not have access. Of course, advances like this help us all. As a result, we are able to use energy effectively and take advantage of the natural resources to which we have the most access.

What Is Reverse Osmosis - Advancees Equipment & Services

reverse osmosis

What Is Reverse Osmosis?

Across the country and around the world, “Reverse Osmosis” (also known as RO) is becoming increasingly popular. However, many are still unsure what the term actually means. Reverse osmosis is a process used to purify water. It leverages pressure and a semi-permeable membrane to force water minerals and other contaminating particles through a semipermeable membrane, during this process contaminants are filtered out, leaving clean and purified water.

Of course, to make it simpler, let’s first take a look at osmosis. Of course, this is a term most are familiar with. After all, it is a topic we all studied in grade school science class.  To state it succinctly, osmosis is an absorption process where a weak saline solution moves towards a stronger one. Of course, the best example is in nature because the water in the soil is absorbed by plants.

Reverse osmosis is the opposite of this. Moreover, it is not a natural phenomenon and requires assistance to occur. Using pressure, water is pushed through a semipermeable membrane which literally filters out contaminants. To illustrate, picture using the back of a spoon to push a berry compote through a strainer. Which would remove the seeds. Additionally, the strainer has holes that allow some things to pass through while preventing others.  It is a type of semi-permeable membrane.

Without a doubt, the process of reverse osmosis is more complicated than this. Furthermore, it leverages specialized equipment and processes, and the semipermeable membrane’s “holes” are significantly smaller than those in a strainer. In fact, they are so small that only water vapor, not even room temperature water, can penetrate them.

 

Who Does Reverse Osmosis Benefit

Of course, there are a host of industries leveraging reverse osmosis in their operations today.  Those using this process include, but are not limited to: 

  • Hospitality Industry (Hotels and Spas)
  • Restaurants
  • Food and Beverage Manufacturers
  • Agriculture
  • Mining
  • Power Plants
  • Off-Shore
  • Pharmaceuticals

Basically, reverse osmosis is the solution to many of the problems businesses face regarding their water, water sources, and water prices. Some of the most common applications for reverse osmosis are desalination, iron removal, arsenic removal, High TDS Reduction, ultrapure Water, Ion Exchange, deionization, hydrogen sulfide removal. Reverse osmosis systems are, for a great many businesses in Florida, across the country, and around the world an excellent investment.

Municipalities of all sizes and capacities leverage reverse osmosis water treatment systems and plants for their population water needs, there are commercial and industrial water systems available to support their needs. A common use of reverse osmosis solutions become relevant during natural disasters as reverse osmosis systems can be easily transported to support communities with lack of drinking water sources. Mobile water reverse osmosis solutions are available to provide support to communities in need, for temporary operations or communities in expansion.

At Advanced Equipment and Services, located in South Florida, we are an established organization dedicated to providing our clients with Reverse Osmosis (RO) and water purification equipment.  Our team is committed to understanding our clients’ businesses and delivering the most appropriate systems for their needs.

Advantages of seawater desalination systems

Advantages of Seawater Desalination

We have a water shortage. Desalination is one of the best options we have to help provide clean and fresh water to those who need it.  You see, even though the earth is covered in water, the majority of it is located in oceans; because of the salt content it is simply not drinkable (or usable) in its natural form. Of course, we need to consider the advantages of seawater desalination systems.

Desalination is a process used to remove both salt and other materials (including minerals, and microorganisms) from water. Moreover, some of these may even be dangerous to your health.   

Providing Water Around the World – Advantages of Seawater Desalination

Not to mention, the advantages of seawater desalination are considerable.  First and foremost it helps to provide water to the many around the world who don’t have access to the clean and fresh drinkable water they need to survive.  Of course, staying hydrated (many doctors believe 8 ounces of water a day is ideal) is critical to maintaining your health. 

Helping the Agricultural Industry

Additionally, desalinated water can be used by those in the agricultural industry. Equally important, so much land goes unused (for planting) because there is no access to water for irrigation. Uniquely, desalinated water is perfect for this purpose. And, it can be used in times of severe weather.  Quite often, droughts can kill crops – there is simply not enough water to nourish them. Of course, desalinated water is the answer to these problems.  In short,  it provides water in cases of weather emergencies and literally transforms unusable land into a productive resource; providing jobs and additional value to individuals who need it most.

Finally, some of the most important attributes of seawater desalination systems are their impact on the environment.  First of all, they use ocean water, of which there is an unlimited supply.  They take a resource that is more than plentiful and turn it into one which is desperately needed.  Of course, providing drinkable and usable water where it is lacking, without depleting the earth’s freshwater supply, and while protecting many of the planet’s natural habitats, is incredibly valuable. 

Provides Major Value 

While many of us are just beginning to hear about this process and Seawater Desalination Systems, they are not new – in fact, they have been around for decades. Honestly,  many industries have been leveraging them for years. 

Also, the process of desalination has undergone continuous improvement and today provides a significant value to many across the country and around the world. We need to continue to discuss the advantages of seawater desalination systems and make them a common fixture.

Desalination Process - What Does It Mean?

desalination process

What Does Desalination Mean?

Of course, there are things we know, things we think we know, and things that completely surprise us.  The facts about water fall into each of these categories. The desalination process is something to explore. 

First, let’s discuss what we know.  Humans need water to survive. Of course, we need to drink clean and clear water to keep our bodies hydrated; basically, water is essential to life. We have all heard the recommendation of medical professionals to drink 8 glasses a day! When access to drinkable water is limited, illness becomes an issue, and death rates rise.  Most of us are also aware that 71% of the earth is covered in water.   

Now, let us turn to what we think we know.  Since there is so much water on earth, many think that nobody should have issues accessing the water they need to live.  It seems as if water should be plentiful for all.  Unfortunately, this is untrue.  In fact, much of the water on earth (over 97% to be exact) is found in the oceans – it is saltwater. Thus, it is undrinkable for humans. The desalination process can be the key to more drinkable water. 

Drinkable Water – Desalination Process Can Help

This clearly indicates that a lack of drinkable water is a problem.  However, there is a solution.  A fact that many don’t realize. Saltwater CAN  be turned into drinkable water using a process called desalination. Desalination of saltwater can help. 

In desalination, the salt in water is removed making it safe to drink. This can be achieved through any one of several ways including reverse osmosis, distillation, and electrodialysis. Reverse osmosis uses pressure and a membrane system to separate the salt from the water.  Distillation leverages heat to evaporate water and then contains the steam which is free from salt. Finally, electrodialysis uses electricity to separate molecules and remove the salt. 

Desalination Processes – Providing Clean Water

These processes help make seawater useful and provide clean water to areas that need it desperately. Of course, as the population on earth continues to grow, so does the demand for drinkable water.  Desalination can help meet this demand. 

Of course, as the use of desalination grows, more and more water becomes available to those who need it most. It is an effective system that is helping to solve a problem and improve the health and well-being of people around the world.
