Upgrading ERDs within an operating desalination plant in Israel

The Palmachim Desalination plant is one of the largest seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants in Israel with a capacity of 120,000 cubic meters per day. Built by the Via Maris Desalination Ltd. consortium, the plant consists of six (6) parallel SWRO trains, each with a permeate production capacity of up to 20,000 cubic meters per day.

Case Study

Turkey’s industrial water needs restrained by expensive power

The quality and availability of freshwater supplies in Turkey are unpredictable. This is because rainfall variations, geographical irregularities, urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural modernization all complicate water use for human, industrial, and agricultural purposes.

Case Study

Tianjin’s progress stalled without water

Limited water resources were holding back social and economic development in Tianjin Dagang, the largest industrial city in Northern China. An early adopter of desalination to meet municipal and industrial water needs, Tianjin sought to develop a massive desalination plant.

White Paper

The lifetime durability of ceramic PX energy recovery devices

To ensure the lifetime of the seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) process and its enabling technology, it is essential to use the most advanced and reliable materials of construction. One such advance in material science is that of the PX Pressure Exchanger employing high purity (>99%) aluminum oxide (alumina) ceramics.

White Paper

The advantage of reliable ERD technologies

Availability can be defined as the probability that a system or piece of equipment when used under the specified conditions operates satisfactorily at any given time. The availability of the equipment installed in a seawater reverse osmosis facility (SWRO) is extremely important to the price, quality, and quantity of the final product—water.

Case Study

Parched on the Red Sea

Miles and miles of gorgeous Red Sea coastline draw tourists to Egypt every year. And while most of Egypt’s residents have access to fresh water from the River Nile, transporting it to the farthest reaches of the Egyptian coast is expensive.

White Paper

Maximice el Tiempo de Operación en el Proceso de Endulzamiento de Gas utilizando Turbocompresores

Durante el siglo pasado, la práctica del reciclaje de energía ha sido incluida en diferentes procesos industriales como un paso clave para minimizar lo que de otro modo sería energía desperdiciada. La mayoría de las industrias están familiarizadas con el concepto de recuperación de calor residual, donde el calor que habría sido disipado y desechado, es devuelto a los diferentes procesos industriales.
