As populations grow 🌍, climate change accelerates, and water resources become scarcer, desalination is becoming increasingly necessary to ensure a stable water supply. Converting seawater into potable water is vital to meet the needs of both expanding communities 🏘️ and industries. However, desalination plants are facing a series of growing challenges that make this process far from simple.
One major issue is the energy consumption 🔋 required for desalination, driving up operational costs and putting strain on budgets. Treating seawater through reverse osmosis (RO)—the most common desalination method—requires 2.5 (3) to 6 kWh/m³, which is at least 10 times more energy-intensive than treating surface water (0.2 to 0.4 kWh/m³). Thermal desalination methods, such as Multi-Stage Flash (MSF), consume even more energy, reaching up to 17 kWh/m³.
In addition to energy concerns, algal blooms 🌱 are a persistent threat to desalination facilities. These blooms can clog intake systems, foul membranes, and lead to costly and disruptive cleanings. The resulting operational downtime ⏳ and potential shutdowns can severely impact water production and efficiency, costing facilities both time and money.
