Why Reverse Osmosis Is the Best Solution for Desalination

The Global Water Challenge

Since there have been repeated shortages of freshwater resources, the process of seawater desalination has grown to play an important role in water security. Reverse Osmosis (RO) has been emerging as the common form of desalination in various countries across the globe. The high SWRO (Seawater Reverse Osmosis) systems provided by Guangzhou VOCEE Membrane Technology are leading in efficiency and reliability in the transformation of seawater to unrivaled fresh and drinkable water.

Key Advantages of RO Desalination

Superior Energy Efficiency

Contemporary RO systems use 3-4 kWh/m 3 which is very less in comparison to thermal desalination procedures. Our energy recovery devices allow recovery of up to 98 per cent of the hydraulic energy, which means that SWRO is the most energy-efficient large-scale desalination solution on the market.

Compact and Scalable Design

A higher concentration ratio that is needed in RO plants requires less space compared to thermal options that enable:

Modular construction

Faster implementation

Elastic capacity increase

Installations mounted on shore as well as installations mounted on vessels

Exceptional Water Quality

Having gone through rigorous trials, VOCEE SWRO systems always yield water with the desirable quality that surpasses the WHO standards:

Greater than 99.7 % salt rejection rates are obtained.

Biofilms control sequence

Removal of heavy metal and other pollutants
