Here are a few pics from our just-completed Project for the Oman government. It’s a 250,000 m3/day capacity water making plant that converts sea-water to potable water using Reverse Osmosis Technology – colloquially known as the Water Desalination plant in this part of the world. The whole of the Middle East runs on such water. To describe the process briefly: the raw sea-water is passed through Air Floatation chambers where small suspended solids are coagulated with the addition of coagulants and then skimmed off from the surface after being lifted through controlled aeration. This water is then passed through a battery of Filters comprising garnet (Coarse), sand (fine) and charcoal. These filters go into an automatic backwashing sequence where the flow of water is reversed along with air-scouring and the scum disposed of in the wastewater channel. The filtered water is then diverted to a battery of cartridge filters before it is finally pushed under very high pressure into the R...
