As the limitations on freshwater supplies increases due to more extreme weather conditions and water quality degradation, the demand for both brackish and seawater water desalination is expected to increase across the United States of America. In areas of population growth and water supply sustainability risk, municipalities, government agencies and industrial water users are already seeking alternative supplies such as desalination. The applications for desalination technologies are expected to increase.

When you watch the webinar, you will learn how to:

  • Identify desali­na­tion tech­nolo­gies

  • Understand how reverse osmosis (RO) works

  • Identify RO appli­ca­tions

  • Understand design consid­er­a­tions for brackish water RO and seawater RO
