In the Middle East, where rainwater and groundwater are scarce, many seawater desalination plants operate to make drinking water.

Key Points: 
  • In the Middle East, where rainwater and groundwater are scarce, many seawater desalination plants operate to make drinking water.
  • The three companies aim to put into practical use a "brine concentration (BC) membrane technology" for treating highly concentrated brine.
  • BC membrane, which was developed based on Toyobo's hollow fiber RO technology, is capable of separating concentrated brine discharged from seawater desalination plants into diluted seawater and highly concentrated brine.
  • The BC membrane technology, therefore, will boost efforts to fully reuse concentrated brine from desalination plants.
