  Desalination Plants for Industries  The lifeblood of industry is water, yet in many areas, there is a shortage of freshwater that can be relied upon. This is addressed by desalination plants, which convert salty or brackish seawater or groundwater to clean water that can be used. These systems make the factories work, the power plants work, and the production lines remain the same. In industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, and food processing, desalination is important to make smart investment choices. What is Desalination? To produce fresh water of high industrial standards, desalination eliminates dissolved salts, minerals and impurities in saline water. The average concentration of  total dissolved solids (TDS)  is approximately 35,000 mg/L in seawater and 1,000 to 10,000 mg/L in brackish sources. An effective plant will purify the water to levels less than 500mg/L, which are ideal in boilers, cooling towers, chemical operations, or the production of pro...
