Sea Water Desalination
Desalination – Points to Ponder
Water is a source of life but the world has a total of 1.65 billion km3 of Water. However, only 0.3% of this total quantity is theoretically usable as a fresh water,and only 10% of that i.e. 0.03% of the world’s water is capable of economical utilization.
In the environment report ‘Global 2000’ the following comments occur:
“The notion that water is a freely available resource will no longer be encountered any where in the world in 20 years time".
Worldwide sea water desalination has been a very effective and economical way of producing potable water for drinking and industries. It is a myth that, sea water desalination is so exorbitantly expensive that it is unaffordable.
Reverse Osmosis plants to convert sea water to potable drinking water and for other usages have been prevalent throughout the world for more than 3 decades. The seawater Reverse Osmosis membranes have improved in technology and efficiency over the last 15 years. The current technology available for seawater Desalination through Reverse Osmosis System has proven to be cost effective and easily maintainable. With proper process design and efficient conservation of energy sea water Desalination system with Reverse Osmosis can be a long-term solution at an affordable price. With technologies to save power such as “energy recovery turbines” cost per ltr of Desalinated sea water to potable water can work as low as US$0.001 per litre, including cost of running, maintenance and power.
Efficiency & Expertise:
Canadian Clear Group of Companies was established in 1972 to overcome the need for pure potable water for drinking and for industries. In Canadian Clear our Research and Development wing have worked to design, develop, manufacture complete Water Treatment and Purification System. For the last four decades CANADIAN CLEAR has successfully designed, manufactured, installed andcommissioned a number of Water Treatment Plants with Indigenous and foreign technical know-how to prime industries, fertilizers, hospitals, Government and semi- Government organization, off-shore oil rigs, refineries, soft drink manufacturers, breweries and mineral water manufacturers for various applications.
Alternatively, the reject water from the Reverse Osmosis System can be utilized for producing common salt by natural drying method or by flash evaporators or other salt recovery methods. The investments on Desalination Plants today are not highly exorbitant as it was 15 to 20 years ago. With world market opening up to open trade the viabilities of such projects are very encouraging.
Canadian Clear with its vast expertise in the field of Water Treatment in the last 4 decades has come out with cost effective and high efficiency RO recovery systems for sea water Desalination.
Design and Conceptualization:
Canadian Clear with vivid innovation and development has created different designs and concepts for Desalination. All our systems are compact by eliminating the high investment on civil infrastructures. The cost of implementing the Desalination Plant is concentrated towards technology, plant and machinery rather than dumping it on gigantic civil structures. Canadian Clear has focused its expertise on compactness and readily available complete systems, which saves the essential factor of time. Technology is other primary core sector of Canadian Clear, which allowed us to be different form our competitors. We differ in technology, structuring layout, compactness, operation cost and in deliverance.
