Features of the Facility

The facility has the following significant features;

1. The sea water osmosis intake system allows a stable intake of cleaner sea water.
2. UF membranes (*1) can remove microorganisms and ultrafine particles, produce no waste and need less space for installation.
3. The two-stage reverse osmosis system, high-pressure RO system (*2) and low-pressure RO system, was adopted to produce higher quality water.
4. The freshwater recovery rate improvement (60%) allows less volume of sea water intake which requires less space and results in lower costs.

1. *1: UF Membrane (Ultrafiltration membrane)

UF is an abbreviation of ultrafiltration by which various viruses as well as cryptosporidium can be removed.

1. *2: RO Membrane (Reverse Osmosis membrane)

RO is an abbreviated expression of reverse osmosis, one of the membrane processes, which is capable of removing salts along with chlorine and sodium ions.
