Sea Water Desalination

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
anywhere 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 sea
water 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 and
commissioned 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.
With proper selection of sea water source understanding the factors of high tide and
low tide, backwaters of sea can be exploited with much higher efficiency through the
Reverse Osmosis System than directly drawing water from the sea. The sea is an
endless resource of water and will never deplete even if large quantities of water are
drawn from its resource. The reject water from the Reverse Osmosis System can be
sent back in the sea as they constitute only with concentrated salts which was
originally available in the sea water. The concentrated salt is of such micro-level that
it can never increase the concentration of salts in the sea water.
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.
