The diagram shows the process of removing salt from seawater to produce drinking water. The process has several steps, including filtering, high-pressure treatment, and chemical treatment before storage.
First, seawater is taken from the sea and passes through a pre-treatment filter. This filter removes large particles like sand and debris. Some of the water is sent back to the sea as waste.Next, the filtered water is forced through a high-pressure membrane. This step separates salt and other impurities from the water. As a result, salt and waste materials are removed, while clean water moves forward.
After that, the water goes through a post-treatment stage. Chemicals such as lime, chlorine, and fluoride are added to make the water safe for drinking.Finally, the treated water is stored in tanks before being distributed to the public water supply.
Overall, this process converts seawater into safe drinking water by removing salt and harmful substances.
