A process to produce clean (potable) water from brackish or seawater Electrodialysis is an electrochemical technique often used for this purpose
The process whereby the salt and water in sea water are separated To provide fresh drinking water for coastal areas where there is a shortage of fresh water
production of fresh water by removing salt from seawater or brackish water through the application of energy, usually oil or other fossil fuels
Desalination is the process of removing salt from sea water so that it can be used for drinking, or for watering crops. the process of removing salt from sea water so that people can use it. or desalting Removal of dissolved salts from seawater and from the salty waters of inland seas, highly mineralized groundwaters, and municipal wastewaters. Desalination makes such otherwise unusable waters fit for human consumption, irrigation, industrial applications, and other purposes. Distillation is the most widely used desalination process; freezing and thawing, electrodialysis, and reverse osmosis are also used. All are energy-intensive and therefore expensive. Currently, more than 2 billion gallons (8 million cu m) of fresh water are produced each day by several thousand desalination plants throughout the world, the largest plants being in the Arabian Peninsula
The process of salt removal from sea or brackish water, the removal of salts from saline water to provide fresh water, an increasingly popular way of providing fresh water to coastal populations
The process of removing salts from water to produce fresher water (see Salinity)
The removal of salts and minerals form water (usually seawater) to make freshwater Desalination plants use reverse osmosis technology to produce water with a salinity of typically <0 1parts per thousand They are expensive to operate, primarily due to the cost of pumping through several stages of filtration and the reverse osmosis systems itself They are used mainly in marine hatcheries for species where salinity is critical (for development or broodstock conditioning) and on remote farm locations for domestic water supplies Operating costs are dependant on the quality of water and level of filtration required The cleaner the water, the lower the operational costs and the simpler the system design
Removing salt from sea water or brackish water by evaporation or reverse osmosis
Process of removing salt from water It involves heating the salt water and collecting the steam The steam is then condensed, this is pure water ready for using The drawback to this process is the expense so it is only used when there is no cheaper alternative
