Alkaline water is defined as water with a pH higher than 7.0. Alkalinity is the measure of the capability of water to neutralize acids or resist changes in pH that would make the water acidic (pH below 7.0). It primarily results from the presence of limestone or calcium minerals in the source water. Lower alkalinity...Continue Reading
Desalination Plant and Reverse Osmosis filters have proven very effective in removing bacteria (E. coli, Samonella), protozoa (Guardia, Cryptosporidium), and chemical inorganic contaminants such as sodium, chloride, lead, and fluoride from the water. However, some of the essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium can also get eliminated in the process. Desalinated water results in...Continue Reading
Desalination and Reverse Osmosis are some of the commonly adopted treatment techniques for provision of clean drinking water in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Desalination process removes or separates dissolved minerals (primarily salts) from seawater, brackish groundwater or treated wastewater to provide clean drinking water. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process in which...Continue Reading
