The reverse osmosis seawater desalination technology is currently one of the two major seawater desalination technologies that have been industrially applied. Seawater is a complex system, especially near land, containing a large amount of colloids, suspended particles, microorganisms, bacteria, dissolved organic matter, and inorganic matter.




Due to the strict requirements of reverse osmosis membranes on the quality of influent water, pre-treatment of seawater is one of the necessary steps for reverse osmosis seawater desalination.



The application of ceramic flat membrane in the pre-treatment process of reverse osmosis seawater desalination technology has unique advantages.




Compared with traditional pre-treatment methods, the ceramic flat membrane method can improve the inlet water quality, significantly reduce the turbidity, TDS, and hardness of seawater, reduce the addition of chemicals and the cleaning frequency of reverse osmosis, maximize the maintenance of water production rate and desalination rate, and reduce the operating cost of seawater desalination.
