Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands, pioneer in Spain of seawater desalination systems with a considerable multiprocess desalination capacity, had arrived to the point where some of the installations were obsolete, with systems that either due to their high energy consumption or simply because they

As a consequence of continuous growth in population, in standards of life and in industrial development, stress on water supplies is steadily increasing in the Mediterranean and other areas with water scarcity. Therefore, a need to use raw waters of lower quality has developed. In some of the countr

Improvements achieved by the new FILMTEC products as well as results of field experiences made with FILMTEC seawater and brackish water reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are presented as per their status as of February 2000, along with the analysis of the relationship between the achieved performance a

A new generation of chemically modified, FILMTEC* thin-film composite, aromatic polyamide membrane elements has been introduced that exhibits reduced rates for bacterial adhesion, longer induction periods before biofilm start developing, and extended operating times between chemical cleanings. When
