Seawater RO Our project (bio-desalination)
Main Energy form Mechanical (electrical) energy Light (solar) energy
Energy cost(kWh/m^3) 2.5-7 N/A (estimated to be lower)
Pretreatment requirement High Low (The more nutrient it contains the better.)
Operating temperature (℃) <45 <45
Product water quality (Remove racial of total dissolved solids) 95%-99%(single RO pass) estimating 18%-20%(based on lab result)
Typical water recovery 35-50% N/A (depend on separation efficiency)
