Does desalinator remove harmful bacteria from sea water ?
A. Definitely. Reverse osmosis membranes are capable of removing 99.9+ % of bacteria. This level of removal is sufficient for most sea waters which contain some bacteria and other micro-organisms. The feed water intake pipe should not be located close to some source of contamination like sewer discharge point. Otherwise the reverse osmosis membranes will be overloaded with bacteria.
