Innovative seawater intake for reverse osmosis desalination plants
Seawater desalination plants typically consist of four major unit operations: seawater intake, pretreatment, Reverse Osmosis (RO) stage, and posttreatment and brine discharge. The best way is to go through vertical beach wells, but the increase of the production capacity of the plants built in recent years makes open intake the only solution. These open ocean intakes draw seawater through the ...

The “Other Side” of Wastewater Treatment
Peter Christou of Chimo Water & Wastewater Services Ltd. writes about his experience in the Antartica. I had no idea what to expect when I was asked to go to the McMurdo Research Station to help operate the wastewater and water treatment plants. All I knew about Antarctica was mainly the horror stories about frost bite from random cataclysmic winter storms that plagued this land mass. ...

An overview of reverse osmosis
Reverse osmosis is the separation or filtration method by which many types of molecules and ion particles are removed from the solution through porous membrane-technology filtration. Reverse osmosis systems work very well at removing all types of hard minerals and contaminants in the water. Hard water minerals are easily removed from the reverse osmosis membrane. An amount of pressure is applied ...
