Brackish Water RO

Brackish water is water characterized with moderate levels of dissolved minerals and salts, typically less than 5000 ppm total dissolved solids (TDS). The presence of these impurities renders the water less desirable or unusable for many applications.

The ability to remove minerals and salts provides a solution to convert previously unusable waters to high purity resources for drinking water or high purity industrial uses.

Brackish water desalination became even more viable with the development of modern reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in the mid-1980's. Now, with further developments in low pressure RO membranes, the cost of producing high quality water has become competitive with the development of more usable supplies of water. A key application of RO technology is developing high quality water supplies where none are available.

Most arid countries have large sustainable aquifers unsuitable for human consumption due to high salinity. This problem is economically overcome with GrahamTek Systems Reverse Osmosis Technology.
