In the early 1970s, Mekorot was among the first to investigate and actually implement the RO process as an alternative to the much higher energy-intensive and more expensive thermal processes. Mekorot, assisted by Israeli universities and in cooperation with leading membrane manufacturers and other

Flat sheet samples of SWRO membranes of the SWC2 type (Hydranautics) were surface modified with hydrophilic polymers formed by redox initiated grafting with vinyl monomers. These were mounted on specially designed stubs along with unmodified membranes and tested at the Mekorot seawater RO pilot plan
