    97% of the available water on Earth is salty. 42 of the 70 cities with more than one million inhabitants without direct access to additional freshwater resources, are located on the coast. Nearly 40% of the worlds population suffers from a shortage of freshwater. By 2050, this number could reach 4 billion. Spain, Mexico, California and the Arab Peninsula have already opted for the desalination of brackish or sea water to meet their needs and support their economic development.

    Desalination consists in extracting the salt from salty or brackish water to make it suitable for drinking or usable by industry or for irrigation. In 10 years, production costs have been divided by a factor of 2 thanks to the efforts of the water treatment industry and the manufacturers of membranes and equipment (pumps, turbines, pressure exchangers).

    the main techniqueS...


    - Distillation is the oldest technology used. It combines evaporation with condensation to guarantee final salinity of less than 10 mg/L. - The most recent technique, Reverse Osmosis, is a membrane-based separation process which enables more than 99.9% of the salts present in the water to be captured. ciPle of r rin P

    SuStainaBle DeSalination: numerouS referenceS

    As a major Environmental player, Degrmont offers its customers sustainable solutions. More than 250 plants built in 40 years, including about ten currently in operation, are producing desalinated water in the four corners of the world. Whatever the customers problem, Degrmont can propose the right technical and economic solution, up to and including financing. In 2005, in Curaao in the Dutch Antilles, we delivered an 18,000 m3/d plant, while in 2009 the Barcelona plant in Spain will be producing 200,000 m3/d. In Fujarah in the United Arab Emirates, the plant is producing 170,500 m3/d of desalinated water, from an initial salt concentration of 40 g/L. Depending on the quality of the raw water, Degrmont defines the most suitable and the most reliable purification line, to optimise the efficiency and longevity of the osmosis membranes. In the Minera la Escondida (45,000 m3/d) plant in Chile, Aquadaf rapid flotation units supplement Mediazur filters, while in Palma de Mallorca (68,000 m3/d) in Spain, a battery of Mediazur filters alone proved to be adequate. In Wadi MaIn (129,000 m3/d) in Jordan, Pulsatube clarification was chosen, followed by Aquazur V filtration. In recent years, the Degrmont teams have been able to deliver plants in record time. For example, in Perth, Australia (140,000 m3/d) production started up only 18 months after engineering studies began. Finally, Degrmonts three integrated professional areas, Design, Building and Operation, mean that it can round off its offering with financing as part of a BOT (Build Operate Transfer) contract, such as that for Pemex (13,400 m3/d) in Mexico.
