key specifications
Industrial water desalination devices convert highly salty water, such as seawater and groundwater, into fresh water. These devices purify water through semi-permeable membrane processes. Large-scale water desalination is essential for providing water to regions facing a shortage of fresh water. Nowadays, the semi-permeable membrane process or reverse osmosis is one of the most cost-effective methods for industrial water purification. Industrial desalination devices are industrial Ro packages, industrial water purifiers, and reverse osmosis packages. They are designed to desalinate water with a volume of 5 cubic meters or more.
Industrial water desalination systems have different filters. Each filter has its function. In the following, we describe their types:
Carbon filters
Every industrial water desalination has high-quality carbon filters. Carbon filters are also known as taste and smell filters.
Sand filters
This type of filter is designed to handle various kinds of pressure. The sand filter’s function is to eliminate suspended particles up to 50 microns in size. The layers of sand have different grain sizes, which allows them to separate easily during backwashing.
Cartridge filters or micron filters
As the name suggests, this filter removes particles of sand, dirt, and sediment up to 5 microns.
Nanofiltration
Nano filters eliminate all viruses well. This kind of filter will remove organic molecules, natural organic matter, and too much salt from water. Also, nano filters remove the ions that cause the water to harden. Therefore, these types of filters are mostly used to soften water.
Ultrafiltration
When water passes through this filter, viruses remain, and many microorganisms are removed, because ultrafilters have 0.01-micron pores.
