DESALINATION WATER PLANT
A water desalination plant is a facility that turns seawater or brackish water into fresh water. Countries that are arid or have desert regions, like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Israel, are often the most dependent on desalination.
APK installed many plants in Saudi Arabia, Oman & UAE.
Sea Water Membrane
used for seawater desalination, these high productivity membranes are usually found on ships as well as land and sea-based desalination plants, creating drinkable water from seawater.
RO seawater desalination uses permeable membranes to remove dissolved solids while dividing the feed water into purified water and the rejected concentrated salts resulting in purified water with 99% less dissolved solids and salts. These seawater reverse osmosis systems are immensely powerful, with the capacity of purifying significantly high TDS water. Seawater RO systems are usable anywhere from yachts to municipalities. It’s important to choose the correct materials of construction to handle seawater as it is extremely corrosive.
Brackish Water RO Membranes
BW Brackish Water Desalination is a procedure for treating brackish water, which has higher saline levels than freshwater but lower levels than seawater. This technology uses modern filtration and purification techniques to eliminate contaminants from brackish water, making it appropriate for drinking, irrigation, and industrial usage. They are used in any industrial application that involves removing excess salt, metals, and other TDS from water.
Ion exchange is the reversible exchange of one type of ion present in an insoluble solid with another type of ion with a similar charge present in a surrounding water. Ion exchange is used in chemical purification, substance separation, and water softening or demineralization.
Ion exchange is widely used in the food and beverage industry, hydrometallurgy, metals finishing, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical technology, sugar and sweetener production, ground- and potable-water treatment, nuclear, softening, industrial water treatment, semiconductor, power, and many other industries
Ions are a common source of contamination of water. The more ions dissolved in the water, the higher the total dissolved solids (TDS) and conductivity. Ion exchange is the most effective way to rid water of contaminants.
The most common ion exchange water treatment methods are
Softeners
Softner plant also known as water softening system it’s used to the removal of calcium, magnesium, and certain other metal cations in hard water.
Demineraliser (DM)
A demineraliser is a system that removes dissolved ionic chemicals (salts) from water using an ion exchange chemical process. It is sometimes referred to as a Deionized Water System, a Demineraliser, or a DM Plant
Mixed Bed (MB)
Mixed bed ion exchange is an ion exchange procedure used to polish demineralised water, remove trace dissolved solids.
