Five things to know about desalination

Desalination, Step by Step: How We Turn “Nope” Water Into “Yep” Water

This post breaks down desalination step by step, explaining how seawater moves through intake, filtration, RO membranes, energy recovery, post-treatment, brine disposal, and distribution.
How Does a Desalination Plant Work? It’s a Machine… and a Mirror.

This blog explains how a desalination plant turns seawater into drinking water, covering intake, pretreatment, RO membranes, energy recovery, brine handling, and post-treatment.
Reverse Osmosis Desalination: The Water Fix That Comes With a Shadow

This post explains the main downsides of reverse osmosis desalination—high energy use, brine waste, ocean impacts, costly maintenance, and long-term financial lock-in.
What Is the RO System for Desalination?

Learn how the RO system for desalination works, its components, and why it’s the go-to method for turning seawater into fresh water in coastal areas and industries.
What Is Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO)

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is the workhorse of modern desalination. It uses high-pressure pumps and RO membranes to separate fresh water from salt, then relies on smart pretreatment and energy recovery to stay efficient. This guide explains how SWRO really works—and what can go wrong.
