SVJPL Seawater Desalination Plant uses a process called reverse osmosis (RO) to produce drinking water from seawater.

Seawater coming into the plant goes through a rigorous pretreatment process then freshwater is separated from the seawater using reverse osmosis. The end product is high-quality drinking water.

High pressure forces the pretreated water through semi-permeable membranes to separate the freshwater, leaving twice-as-salty seawater and other minerals behind.

RO plants have a very high space/production capacity ratio, ranging from 25 000 to 60 000 l/day/m2.
