The seawater treatment performed by a desalination plant consists of five basic steps:
1. The first stage of treatment to desalinate water, consists of the collection and pre-treatment. At the bottom of the sea, collecting ducts are one of hundreds of meters long. These are responsible for capturing the salty water and take it to the pre-treatment section. In this area, we make the separation of suspended solids and sodium hypochlorite is added to strip the water of bacteria and other microorganisms.
2. Then he continues the filtering stage. This is done using sand filters and coagulants such as ferric chloride. These are responsible for sifting the smaller particles remaining dissolved in the aqueous solution.
