Turning seawater into … process water
As the world’s water comes under more pressure, the demand for desalination plants is growing. Flanders-based chemical and pharmaceutical companies, which rely on water as a crucial element of their production processes, are looking into ways to reduce their water consumption, leading to much interest in Avaio’s desalination system.
The installation will have an initial capacity of 500,000 liters per hour. According to the American investors, this corresponds to the annual consumption of 40,000 families of four people. The desalinated process water will contain five times less salt than drinking water, making it more suitable for chemical installations.
