What percentage of salt, does a desalination system remove?
Desalination machines are built to certain specifications – relative to the water quality and the amount of rejection required. It is now possible to remove up-to 99.8 % of salt content from sea water, that may begin with a salinity of around 35,000 ppm. Advanced high rejection membranes are now available and membrane technology has been developing rapidly over the past few years. Membranes are available for a broad range of applications these days, including low salinity, medium salinity and high rejection, for seawater.
