The diagram illustrates the process involved in the removal of salt from seawater to produce purified water.
Overall, it is clear that the process consists of various stages, beginning with the transportation of salt water from the sea to the pre-treatment filter and ending with the post-treatment phase.
The first stage is when seawater is taken from the sea and passed through a pre-treatment filter, and the filter backwash is subsequently returned to the sea. At high pressure, the filtered water is pushed through a membrane. From this, impurities and salt that are particularly larger than the membrane’s pore size are extracted and sent back to the sea. As a result, it allows only water molecules to flow to the post-treatment phase.
At this point, during the post-treatment stage, water is treated with lime, chlorine, and fluoride to improve the quality of water. Finally, the purified water is stored in the storage before being prepared for an integrated water distribution system.
