What filters are used for desalination plants?

Desalination plants utilize automatic self-cleaning water filtration systems in such applications as ultra-filtration (UF)/reverse osmosis (RO) pre-filtration, process water filtration, and cooling water filtration.

WHAT IS DESALINATION?

Desalination describes any process that removes excess salt and other minerals from water. Often the goal of desalination is to make fresh water available for human consumption or irrigation.

Desalination equipment is used to remove salts and other minerals from water or soils, typically for drinking water, oil field, and process separation applications. 

Desalination plants utilize automatic self-cleaning filtration systems in such applications as ultra-filtration (UF)/reverse osmosis (RO) pre-filtration, process water filtration, and cooling water filtration. Self-cleaning filters extend life and improve the performance of membrane systems by removing particles such as sand, silt, and other suspended solids.

The benefits of self-cleaning filters:

Power plants and other industrial facilities often use seawater for cooling purposes. Raw seawater must be filtered prior to use for cooling.

The harsh nature of marine environments dictates that corrosion-resistant materials are used for all equipment. 

The self-cleaning filters are constructed from stainless steel or other alloy materials. And the filter elements are wedge wire screen filter strainer, and the sizes, types, and materials all can be custom.
