Desalination

Turning seawater and brackish water into usable water: the process, the costs that matter, and what to plan for.

Seawater versus brackish water RO: feed salt 35,000 against 1,000 to 10,000 mg/L, operating pressure 55 to 70 against 10 to 20 bar, recovery 40 to 50% against 70 to 85%, and energy 3 to 4 against 0.5 to 1.5 kWh per m³.
