The fact that the world is undergoing a water shortage is not news. Honestly, it makes sense. The population in our cities and urban areas continues to grow exponentially. Of course, this puts a considerable strain on the existing water supplies. Of course, the quality and quantity of water are simply becoming inadequate. Desalination may be a solution.
Water Scarcity
Of course, this is a significant issue. Clean and fresh water is essential for survival. Many are searching for solutions to this problem. One which has been frequently raised is the process of desalination of salt water. However, many wonder if desalination is a sustainable solution to water scarcity. Of course, there are desalination pros and cons.
What is Desalination
In order to evaluate this idea, we must understand exactly what desalination is. Quite simply, desalination is the process of removing salt from seawater. Of course, there are different types of desalination. At first glance, this seems like the perfect solution. After all, seawater is plentiful all around the world.
Desalination Pros & Cons
Of course, the response to this solution has been quite varied. While there are a number of positives, there are negatives as well. On the plus side, the process is considered safe. Integrating it into current water systems does not come with significant health risks.
However, the process can be costly, thus it may not be the answer for those countries who struggle economically. The process also has some environmental issues including its reliance on fossil fuel energy. While alternatives (solar and wind power) are being developed, it is not widely available.
Of course, it is necessary to dispose of both the brine produced by desalination and the hazardous contaminants produced by it. Incorrect use of this method results in the death of numerous marine species. Definitely shows problems with desalination wrongly implemented.
Of course, the wrong retrieval of the seawater to be desalinated often kills local marine life – the fish, animals, and organisms simply get swept up during the water collection process. Without a doubt, each of the above-mentioned issues individually would result in questioning the process’s appropriateness. The combination of them all properly addressed makes less leery to desalination. Is desalination good or bad?
Of course, overcoming this issue is extremely difficult, and solutions will most certainly continue to be debated around the world for the foreseeable future. That said, one thing is imminently clear. A problem with regard to the water supply exists and finding answers grows more critical each day.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
DOUBLE PASS HIGH PURITY BRACKISH WATER RO SYSTEM 25,000 GPD
The Reverse Osmosis (RO) System provides a Robust construction and is designed with conservative standards for versatility in the event of feed water quality and temperature variations. The system design has incorporated a 15% allowable fouling or flux decline for the membranes without loss of system product water capacity. A pre and post cycle raw water membrane flush has been incorporated into the system design to minimize membrane fouling and piping corrosion during shutdown periods.
The Reverse Osmosis (RO) system includes the appropriate high pressure pump, FRP pressure vessels, spiral wound thin film composite RO membranes, Sch 80 PVC low pressure feed piping, and high pressure piping or hose. The RO unit provides as skid mounted, pre-assembled, pre-wired and is fully operationally tested at the factory prior to shipment.
All Advancees’s Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems includes PLC based controls and are capable of automatic operation with minimal operator intervention. Safety devices are provided to protect the RO system and its components from common fault conditions.
The RO feed water is split into two streams, permeate or purified water and concentrate or reject water. The RO permeate flows to the permeate water storage tank. The concentrate is disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations or method of reuse. When the permeate storage tank is full the level switch sends the shutdown signal to the RO control panel and the system then begins it’s post-flush cycle which removes all concentrated contaminants from the system. Once complete, the system waits for the next start signal.
main features
- Monitoring screen helps to assure water product meets the require standard before and during dialysis operation
- Automatic rinse cycles, helping to preserve water quality under control
- Easy interphase with operator facilitates system operation
- Feed and permeate Water Conductivity are display for customer peace of mind making sure water meets quality standard
- Pressure switch protects system in case of unexpected shutoff feed water supply
