Desalination: How it Works
Intake
Water sourced
directly from the
ocean or from
seawater well.
Reverse Osmosis Process
Semi-permeable membrane
breaks connection between salt
and water molecules by
rejecting the salt.
Pretreatment
Filtered to remove
suspended
particles (sand,
grit, algae) and
chemicals
(hydrocarbons).
Desalination
Water pumped
through special
membrane.
Removes >99%
dissolved solids (salt,
minerals), bacteria,
and viruses.
40% conversion from
salt to fresh water.
Waste
Brine discharged
in environmentally
responsible
manner into
ocean or deep
injection well.
Post-treatment
Water chlorinated
and pH adjusted as
needed.
Minerals can be
added to match taste
of existing water
supply.
To the Public
Potable water stored
and released to
municipal customers
(bulk segment) or
distributed through our
utility directly to end
users (retail segment).
10. NASDAQ:CWCO
We operate plants and
water distribution
systems for our
commercial & industrial
