Application of Integrated Pretreatment Process in Seawater Desalination
Reverse osmosis(RO) seawater desalination has developed rapidly in recent years because of its characters of broad application range and low capital cost.The paper analyzes the possibility of integrating flotation,sedimentation and filtration into the pretreatment process.The integrated pretreatment process of flotation,sedimentation and filtration will have a wide application prospect in RO seawater desalination because it has the advantages of small covering area,low capital cost and low operating cost,etc..
