An introduction to the importance of Seawater Desalination

Desalination is the use of seawater desalination to produce fresh water. It is an open-source incremental technology to realize the utilization of water resources. It can increase the total amount of fresh water, and is not affected by time, space and climate. The water quality is good and the price is gradually becoming reasonable. It can ensure stable water supply for coastal residents and industrial boilers. The process of obtaining fresh water from sea water is called desalination.

Desalination is mainly used to provide drinking water and agricultural water, and sometimes edible salt is produced as a by-product. Desalination is popular in the Middle East and is also used on certain islands and ships.

The cost of desalinated seawater has dropped to 4-5 yuan/ton, and the economic feasibility has been greatly improved. Considering the cost reduction brought about by future technological progress, as well as factors such as policy support, the seawater desalination industry is expected to experience explosive growth in the future.
