Desalination in Mining
With improvements in technology, desalination is becoming more viable both to provide source water and to treat process water Water access is a problem that must be overcome when starting or enlarging any mining project, and a lack of sufficient water in arid regions can be a deal-killer. Another water problem associated with mining (especially coal mining) is that wastewater is often too saline ...

Why do Islands Depend on Reliable Water Desalination Technology?
A response is begged by this question. The reality is, for many island nations, fresh water is not just around the corner. In fact, it’s often miles away… beneath the ocean surface or within a deep saline aquifer. Freshwater scarcity has become their #1 challenge… This might seem like an overwhelming problem to solve. But this is what separates islands that merely survive ...

How is GWT's Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plant Different from Others?
A seawater reverse osmosis plant by definition utilizes the separation of salts and other mineral molecules from water. Freshwater supplies in some parts of the world are dwindling, hard to come by, or are heavily polluted. These are aspects of the growing epidemic of water scarcity.To reduce the strain on freshwater sources, we have to look elsewhere for water and there are no larger sources ...

Desalination: Looking to the future
Untitled Document Even though the volume of the earth's water is vast, less than 10 million of the 1 400 million cubic metres of water on the planet is of low salinity and suitable for use after applying conventional water treatment alone. The other 97.5% of the water on our planet is to be found in the oceans, where it is officially classified as seawater. Desalination ...
