IDE Technologies Launches MAXH2O for Increased Brine Recovery of Brackish Water Desalination Plants – Israel

A world leader in desalination and water treatment solutions, today announced the launch of its brine desalter technology, MAXH2O, which aims to effectively reduce brine reject from brackish water desalination plants by ensuring a more durable and efficient process.

To increase brine recovery of brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) desalination plants, the MAXH2O desalter technology integrates a proprietary reverse osmosis (RO) system with an integrated salt precipitation unit, which together overcome the traditional limitations of brine recovery systems.

Why it’s a bad idea to ramp up Adelaide’s desalination plant – Adelaide – Australia

Drought-affected farmers in New South Wales have called for South Australia to increase the use of its desalination plant to enable an increase in water allocations for other users along the Murray River.

The farmers’ argument is that if Adelaide, in particular, draws less water from the river more will be available for agriculture in NSW and Victoria.

The logic may sound appealing, but there are three good reasons why it’s not a good idea. Not only is desalination an incredibly expensive project, there are other strategies – like water pricing – that can more effectively reduce water demand.
