Benefits Of Water Desalination By: Alex Tudor | - Ocean water comprises 97% of the worlds water supply. Only 3% is fresh water, of which merely 1% is available for human consumption. In this age of global warming and water pollution, to conserve water is essential. What if there was a way to get an alternative source of freshwater for daily use? Water desalination is the answer to this.

Na Article - Brent Stewart - Applications Engineer By: erics velez | - Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in The Earth's crust, which contains 2,83% of sodium in all its forms. Sodium is, after chloride, the second most abundant element dissolved in seawater. The most important sodium salts found in nature are sodium chloride (halite or rock salt), sodium carbonate (trona or soda), sodium borate (borax), sodium nitrate and sodium sulfate. Sodium salts are found in seawater (1.05%), salty lakes, alkaline lakes and mineral spring water.

Swro Design And Energy Recovery Part 3: Major Component Selection By: Energy Recovery Inc. | - The sand screens and micron filters were selected because of the durable and corrosion resistant fiberglass and PVC construction. The specific model of Eden micron filters was chosen to maintain the filter element flux at approximately 3.3 gpm/per 10" equivalent.
Due to the relative remoteness of the installation site, multistage-centrifugal, high-pressure pumps have been selected for their reliability, availability of parts, economics of operation and easy maintenance. Centrifug ... Tags:Energy Recovery, Desalination, Clean Technology, Desalinizat
Swro Design And Energy Recovery Part 2: Hydropro Design By: Energy Recovery Inc. | - Design Requirements
Traditionally Hydropro has always put the needs of the customer into the forefront of its company philosophy. By doing this, Hydropro has always stayed abreast of the latest advancements in technology in the water treatment field. In this case, mostly because of the remote location (nearly everything, including fuel for the diesel generators, is delivered by ship), the most important customer needs were associated with conserving energy and maintaining reliability. Ava ... Tags:Energy Recovery, Desalination, Clean Technology, Desalinization, Pressure Exchanger, Water Resources
Swro Design And Energy Recovery Part 1 By: Energy Recovery Inc. | - Conventional Design
Previously, the standard Hydropro design for SWRO with energy recovery incorporated a single multistage centrifugal pump (or positive displacement) with a Hydraulic Turbo Booster. This design is fairly simple and generally does not require a significant increase in system controls or instrumentation and is for the most part a sound, and energy efficient SWRO design.
Modern Alchemy: Wind To Water By: Shawn Meyer-Steele | - The Perth SWRO plant in Western Australia utilizes a combination of clean wind power and the highest efficiency ERD available for one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly desalination plants in world.
The new pressure exchanger (PX) device transfers the energy from the concentrate stream directly to the feed stream. This direct, positive displacement approach results in a net transfer efficiency of over 95%. Although application of the PX technology is simple in both theory and practice, in order to get the most benefit from this technology it is important to reconsider the SWRO design and operation approach. Pertinent design considerations include pre-filtration, conv ... Tags:Energy Recovery, Desalination, Clean Technology, Desalinization, Pressure Exchanger, Water Resources

Seawater Desalination: Water, Water, Everywhere By: Kathryn Kranhold | - Water-short California's search to satisfy its thirst is beginning to focus on a controversial source -- the Pacific Ocean.
In November, Connecticut-based Poseidon Resources Corp. won a key regulatory approval to build a $300 million water-desalination plant in Carlsbad, north of San Diego. The facility would be the largest in the Western Hemisphere, producing 50 million gallons of drinking water a day, enough to supply about 100,000 homes.
