The value of efficient desalination of sea water
Sea water desalination provides us with drinking water, but it also plays a crucial role when it comes to converting sea water into water for operating industry and power plant stations. Several technologies like multi-stage flash distillation, reverse osmosis, and membrane distillation have evolved in the area of salt desalination. Large-scale plants such as the power and sea water desalination plant Dschabal Ali, the world’s biggest plant of its kind, desalinate 2,135 million cubic meters of salt water a day. This method generally extracts up to 500 000 cubic meters of drinking water on a daily basis.
PROBIG®: Preliminary purification and thinking ahead.
PROBIG® makes an important contribution to the production of drinking water and the restoration of quality water by means of its innovative preliminary purification systems for sweet and salt water. Our pretreatment solutions for desalination stations efficiently and reliably remove organic matter, algae, oil, and soluble metals and particles. PROBIG® develops and produces to suit the flotation systems of the desalination plant in question individually.
The advantages are obvious:
- Minimal space required
- Reliable preliminary purification, even in cases of high and variable suspension substance concentrates
- The ideal solution for the removal of algae, ‘red tide‘ algal bloom, and other light organic material.
PROBIG® has a great deal of experience and expertise when it comes to planning and realizing sea water desalination and drinking water treatment plants on various continents.
