Our solutions are designed for corrosion resistance, low fouling, and operational efficiency, helping clients secure sustainable, high-quality water for industrial or municipal needs. Whether you’re designing a new plant, upgrading an existing system, or integrating with water reuse, we deliver reliable, optimized desalination systems.
Why Seawater Desalination + Water Treatment Is Key
Seawater desalination addresses freshwater scarcity by converting abundant seawater into usable water, offering consistent supply independent of rainfall or natural sources. These systems integrate seamlessly with industrial or municipal water treatment, supporting water reuse, post-treatment conditioning, and ZLD/MLD strategies. Modern designs emphasize energy efficiency, using high-efficiency membranes, energy recovery devices, and optimized hydraulics to lower operational costs and reduce environmental impact.
Core Desalination Technologies & Treatment Chains
Seawater desalination relies on well-integrated technology trains:Pretreatment & Conditioning: Protects membranes and downstream equipment by removing debris, solids, algae, and organics through coarse screens, multimedia or sand filters, ultrafiltration/microfiltration, chemical dosing, and pH or biofouling control.Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO): The heart of modern desalination, SWRO applies high-pressure membranes to separate salts and dissolved solids from water. Key elements include high-pressure pumps, membrane trains, energy recovery devices, and monitoring systems to maintain consistent performance.Thermal & Hybrid Processes: Where heat is available, thermal methods, MED, MSF, or hybrid designs, can complement membranes for desalination in power plants or cogeneration facilities.Post-Treatment & Polishing: Condition desalinated water for end use with pH correction, corrosion inhibitors, disinfection, demineralization, remineralization, or blending to meet industrial, municipal, or process standards.Brine Management: Manage concentrated brine through sea diffuser discharge, ZLD approaches, or integration with salt recovery systems while mitigating environmental impact.
Design Considerations & Best Practices
ProChem Water designs systems based on detailed feedwater analysis, flow requirements, membrane selection, energy recovery optimization, control and automation, maintenance planning, intake/outfall environmental compliance, and corrosion-resistant materials. Balancing CAPEX and OPEX ensures long-term efficiency and reliable performance.
