REVERSE OSMOSIS: THE SOLUTION FOR THE POTABILIZATION OF SALINE AND BRACKISH WATERS.

ÓSMOSIS INVERSA: LA SOLUCIÓN PARA LA POTABILIZACIÓN DE AGUAS SALINAS Y SALOBRES.

Access to drinking water is a key challenge for many companies located in coastal areas, especially in island regions such as the Balearic or Canary Islands.

The high salinity and presence of dissolved minerals in groundwater make it impossible to use for human consumption, irrigation or industrial processes. Fortunately, reverse osmosis has established itself as the most effective solution for the purification of saline and brackish water, allowing many hotels, farms and industries to supply quality water without depending on external sources.

ADVANTAGES OF REVERSE OSMOSIS:

1. High efficiency in purification:

It removes up to 99% of contaminants and dissolved salts, including microorganisms and other particles. In this way, saline or brackish well water becomes water suitable for human consumption, for agricultural irrigation or for most industrial processes.

2. Reduction of operating costs:

By installing a reverse osmosis system, the dependence on external sources of drinking water is minimized, thereby reducing supply and transportation costs. The initial investment in the desalination plant can be quickly recovered depending on the volume of supply required.

3. Adaptability of osmosis plants:

Reverse osmosis systems are available for both small farms and large industries. Each project is studied to offer the best solutions within a given budget.

4. Low environmental impact:

Compared to other desalination technologies, reverse osmosis consumes less energy and generates less waste. It is also very efficient at removing contaminants.

APPLICATIONS OF REVERSE OSMOSIS IN COASTAL AND AGRICULTURAL COMPANIES:

  • Hotel and tourism industry: guarantees unlimited drinking water.
  • Agriculture: reduces the salinity of irrigation water, improving soil quality and crop productivity.
  • Food industry: ensures high purity water for food and beverage production.
  • Industrial processes: prevents the accumulation of minerals in equipment and production systems.
