A hybrid process combining reverse osmosis and electrodialysis has been shown to be effective in recovering 97–98% of brackish water as product water with chloride levels of 200 mg/L or less. Potential for scaling on the brine side of the electrodialysis unit was prevented by acidification, operating

Desalination of secondary effluents in Israel by use of advanced IMS technology has been considered as a major water supply option since different IMS technologies evolved in the last several years for a variety of desalination applications like desalination of brackish surface, seawater and the mor

RO seawater systems operating on a surface feed water, originating from an open intake source, require an extensive pretreatment process in order to control membrane fouling. Considerations of long-term membrane performance stability have lead to an initial design concept of operation of seawater RO

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
