What are the Environmental Implications of a Seawater Treatment Plant?
Published on by Nick Nicholas, App Eng/Technical Director at Genesis Water Technologies, Inc. in Technology
A sea water treatment plant was designed as one of the solutions to the recent water scarcity problems. Fresh and drinkable water isn’t easy to find in some places. As the world’s population grows and industrial production increases, even the largest of the world’s freshwater sources can eventually become strained. Therefore, desalination is meant to expand our sources of water across the world.
As with any technology and/or process, there are implications that must be considered with regards to the environment. Many newer designs are promoted with the intentions of improving on an environmental issue encountered with past designs.
However, there are often negative side effects from these new designs on ecosystems as well. Some effects can be circumvented with considerate design, additional technology, and/or processes.
A sea water treatment plant is one of the world’s solutions to water scarcity. However, it also has its own possible environmental concerns. Of course, there are ways to reduce or negate those effects.
In this article, we will look at three causes for concern in a sea water treatment plant and discuss the ways they can be avoided.
