Sea Water Reverse Osmosis Desalination

World-Class Standards in Water Quality, Efficiency, and Sustainability

Core Objectives

Water Quality & Reliability

  • Deliver potable water meeting WHO/national standards
  • Ensure 24/7 reliable operation, even in remote regions
  • Continuous monitoring of TDS, turbidity, pH, conductivity

Efficiency & Sustainability

  • Maximize RO recovery (>40%) and membrane life (5–7 years)
  • Minimize OPEX: energy (2.5–3.5 kWh/m³), chemicals, maintenance
  • Achieve environmental compliance with brine discharge and emissions

Key Pillars

Water Quality Assurance

  • Online monitoring of TDS, turbidity, pH, conductivity
  • Redundant pre-treatment (DAF, UF) to protect membranes
  • Regular SDI checks and lab testing for heavy metals, pathogens

Operational Efficiency

  • High RO recovery (>40%) with low energy use
  • Energy Recovery Devices (ERDs) to reduce power costs
  • Optimize CIP cycles based on membrane monitoring

Digitalization & Sustainability

  • SCADA/DCS with real-time dashboards
  • AI/ML for predictive maintenance and fouling trends
  • Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) or brine dilution systems
