Process of desalination
 Thermal

 Membrane

 Ion exchange

 Capacitive deionization
Thermal desalination
 Multi-stage flash evaporation
(MSF)
 Multi-effect distillation (MED)
 Low temperature thermal
distillation (LTTD)
 Solar desalination
 Freezing (vacuum/refrigerant)
 Membrane desalination
 Reverse osmosis (RO)
 Electrodialysis (ED)

Other Desalination Process

 Ion exchange
 Capacitive deionisation

How RO
works
Capacitive deionization
How it works
 Without membranes
 Use electrodes
 Clean to reverse polarity
 Require less power
 Work only for brackish water
What is the cost of
desalination ?
DESALINATION IN

INDIA

WHEN &
WHERE?
Minjur desalination
plant,Tamil Nadu
 Largest capacity in india ,100 mld from 273 mld
sea water
 Using RO, serves 500,000 population in chennai
 8600 seawater RO membranes
 5 high pressure pumps
 1200m HDPE pipelines of 1600mm dia
Conclusion
World population
Mid 2017 7.2 billion
Growth rate 1.09%
per year

Where will the water come

from?
 Reduced wastage
 Reduced pollution
 Recycled water
 Better management
 New technology
