Source Water Desalination

1. Addressing Fouling Challenges In Desalination With Prefiltration 3/19/2024

   Pre-filtration is the first line of defense against fouling and is a critical part of the overall desalination process. These systems remove solids that can compromise delicate RO membranes.

2. More Water At The Lower Cost: A Revolution In RO Technology 11/22/2022

   This white paper will explore how the BiTurbo, a revolution in high recovery RO, optimizes membrane performance and reduces total cost of water. 

3. Water Scarcity And Water Stress: The Difference And Solution 11/3/2022

   Understanding the difference and similarities between water stress and water scarcity is the first step in building a plan for a more sustainable, resilient water distribution system. 

4. Despite Drought, U.S. EPA May Block Trailblazing Texas Desalination Plant 10/6/2022

   As water scarcity and consumer demand grow across much of the country, one of the driest states is pursuing an ambitious drinking water project, while still unsure if it will receive the federal green light.

5. Arizona’s $1.2B Water Plan Will Bring Stormwater, Desalination To Desert Region 7/19/2022

   The extent of drought in the U.S. West is forcing many water systems to put significant dollars behind innovative water management measures. Now, that includes more than $1 billion in one of the country’s most arid regions.

6. World’s First Project To Pipe Desalinated Water Into Natural Lake Set To Start Operations 7/13/2022

   As source water grows scarcer in stressed regions around the world, a new project in the Middle East is trailblazing what could become a central technology for drinking water systems in the Western U.S as well.

7. With Critical Source Water At All-Time Low, Arizona Explores Ambitious Desalination Plan 3/30/2022

   Growing water scarcity throughout the U.S. is prompting creative and expensive solutions from a range of states, including a rise in “cash for grass” incentives, a multi-billion dollar effort in Los Angeles, and multiple interstate legal clashes.

8. ABB Technology Further Strengthens Singapore’s Water Security 10/1/2021

   Singapore is using desalination as part of the solution to their water supply issue in order to provide enough clean drinking water for its ever-growing population of 5.5 million.

9. Major California Desalination Plant Faces Permit Obstacle 4/27/2021

   A cutting-edge drinking water treatment facility planned for one of the country’s most water-scarce states now appears in danger of being blocked by regulatory requirements.

10. Pros & Cons Of Sea Water Desalination Using Reverse Osmosis For Drinking Water 2/2/2021

    Sea water desalination is unequivocally the future of drinking water production for coastal communities and island nations in current times of water scarcity. It is already used quite heavily in a few countries. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States are the top three desalination producers of drinking water by capacity in the world followed by Australia, China, and Kuwait.
