Salted water is not always the same. Depending on whether they come from warm or cold oceans, closed or open seas, their salt content will vary. This is a short comparison between samples:
Brackish water:0,5 to 10 g/l, (TDS range: 2000ppm to 20000ppm)
Northern Sea close to estuaries :21 g/l (TDS range: 10000ppm to 21000ppm)
Atlantic Ocean :35 g/l (TDS 35000ppm)
Mediterranean Sea :38 g/l (TDS 38000ppm)
Arabian Sea :45 g/l (TDS45000ppm)
Red sea: 41g/L (TDS 41000ppm)
Dead Sea :300 g/l. (TDS 300,000ppm)

SWRO Process steps introduction
Pre-treatment | Feed water pump, Stainless steel 316L | Provide pressure for filters; |
Quartz sand filter | Remove suspended particle and large impurity. In this system; | |
Active Carbon Filter (option) | Remove the color, free chloride, organic matter, harmful matter, ect; | |
Anti-scalant system | To add chemicals to remove some impurities and prolong thememebranes using/washing time(prevent membrane blocking) | |
Manual/Auto control valves | Flushing sand/carbon filter after some time | |
5micron filter | Remove larger than 5 micro colloids in the water. In this system | |
1micron filter | Remove larger than 1 micro colloids in the water. In this system | |
Seawater RO Main Part | High pressure pump, Stainless steel 316L | Provide the high pressure to RO membrane; |
Ro membranes | More than 98% desalination rate, can remove ions except H2O. | |
CIP system | To washing the membranes when it is blocked after using for long time | |
Electronic control panel | PC controller or PLC and HMI controller |
