The Ultimate FAQ Guide for Desalination Machines.

The demographics regarding desalination usage keeps soaring high as the demand for potable water heightens. Advancements in desalination processes and machinery have boosted efficiency and made desalination a cheap water treatment alternative.

The history of desalination depicts predominance in arid and coastal regions. However, recent trends show that the adoption of desalination machines across other parts of the world is spreading like wildfire. Below, we take an in-depth look into the desalination machines and the processes they utilize.

➣What is a Desalination Machine?

A desalination machine is a water treatment device deployed to generate potable water by lowering the number of dissolved ions from feed water. Desalination machines provide clean product water for industrial use and supplement the domestic supply of clean water.

Desalination machines are also available in distinct capacity ranges, which permits their application at large and smaller scopes. For effective desalination, they utilize membrane-based filtration and thermal distillation. Enormous desalination machines are fitted with power recovery devices, which fundamentally lowers the cost of operation.

➣What are the Various Applications of Desalination Machines?

The need for high-quality water cuts across various domestic, industrial and commercial applications. With 97% of all earth water being saline water, there is an existential threat to freshwater supplies. Desalination machines enable humans to supplement existing freshwater supplies by converting salty water into fresh, clean water.

Underneath are ways in which industries, individuals, and governments exploit desalination machines to achieve different objectives.

• Generating fresh potable water for human consumption.
• Reducing the concentration levels of wastewater from industries.
• Removing corrosive elements from feed water to prevent damaging valuable equipment.
• Providing fresh water for emergencies.
• Supplying potable water for various power plants and refineries.

➣What are the Benefits of Using Desalination Machines?

The principal reason behind the recent proliferation of desalination machines is their efficiency. With desalination rates of up to 99.4%, desalination machines are revered by many as a reliable water treatment solution. The following are tangible rewards, industries and individuals are reaping by utilizing desalination machines.

• Adequate desalination rates, which results in high-quality water.
• Utilization of energy- recovering units, which significantly lowers the cost of operation.
• Easy installation and operation.
• Ability to process huge amounts of feed water continuously.
• A prolonged lifespan well beyond 20 years.

➣What Types of Desalination Machines are Available?

Desalination machines are manufactured with different specifications to optimally meet distinct objectives. To classify desalination machines, manufacturers group the equipment according to the feed water desalinated and the desalination technology employed. Below are the most common types of desalination machines for industrial applications.

Brackish Water Desalination Machine.

Brackish water desalination machines eradicate microorganisms and other harmful impurities weighing between 150 and 250 Daltons from brackish water. These desalination machines are available in various capacity ranges and can be customized in size. They often use reverse osmosis to eliminate dissolved salts and other unwanted chemicals from seawater. Reverse osmosis brackish water desalination machines are equipped with a pre-treatment chamber endowed with pre-filters and antiscalants.

Seawater Desalination Machine.

Seawater desalination machines convert seawater into usable product water for industries or even domestic applications. Advanced seawater desalination machines using membrane filters for desalination are known to have a high desalination rate often hitting 99%. For industrial applications, these machines have a capacity range of 8,000GPD to 660,000GPD.

➣What Is The Price of a Standard Desalination Machine?

Long gone are the days when desalination machines were too expensive to purchase and operate. Advancement in membrane technology and power-saving devices has considerably depressed the investment cost of desalination machines. The purchasing price is however a culmination of various factors such as size, flow rate, and operation module.

The overall cost of a desalination machine encompasses the initial price, the installation price, power consumption, labor, and depreciation. All these variables are subject to change hence it is so difficult to estimate the overriding cost of a desalination machine.

As an example, the cost of desalinating seawater or brackish water using a desalination machine is projected to range from $0.29 to $0.66 per cubic meter. These figures are however inconsistent given the salt concentration levels of feed water alter the cost of production.

➣Which Desalination Mechanisms are Used by Desalination Machines?

There are various ways to desalinate seawater, brackish water, or groundwater. The selection of the ideal desalination process is determined by the quality of potable water you want to be produced. The following are the two most common desalination technologies utilized by desalination machines.

Reverse Osmosis.

Further breakthroughs in Reverse osmosis continue to improve the efficiency of the process, lower the energy consumption and prolong the lifespans of desalination machines. Technically, reverse osmosis is dependent upon high-pressure pumps, which force feedwater through a perforated membrane thus eradicating dissolved salts.

Chemical dosing and pre-filters are deployed in a pre-treatment chamber to remove debris, colloids, and corrosive elements from seawater. This mitigates blocking of the semi-permeable membrane as well as prevents the desalination machine from damage. RO desalination machines have a desalination rate of over 99%.

Thermal Distillation.

Thermal distillation separates dissolved ions from water by converting the water into vapor and subsequently converting the vapor into liquid. This is often achieved through mechanical or thermal vapor compression, multi-stage flash distillation, and multi-effect evaporation. About 40 to 50% of the overall operation cost of thermal distillation machines is accumulated through energy consumption.

➣Why are Desalination Machines Becoming Popular?

Freshwater sources form around 3% of the water sources found across the globe. Over-reliance on such sources coupled with contamination from human and industrial waste has tremendously limited the amount of water available for use. Additionally, climatic changes have significantly reduced the amount of rainfall resulting in depleted freshwater reservoirs.

The invention of desalination machines augments freshwater supplies by providing an alternative source of fresh potable water. Arid, semi-arid and coastal communities are the biggest consumers of desalination machines given the limited number of freshwater sources. Future projections point towards the further popularity of desalination machines as the demand for freshwater heightens.

➣Do Desalination Machines Eradicate all Impurities?

The pore size of reverse osmosis membranes used in desalination machines is often 0.0001 microns. This coupled with the pre-treatment filters makes certain that your desalination machine eliminates over 99% of impurities found in feed water. As effective as desalination machines are, they are incapable of removing all the bacteria, viruses, and protozoa found in seawater. Removal of all impurities requires a hybrid water treatment system, which incorporates ultrafiltration or ultraviolet light.
