Advantages

Slash three key indicators by 80%

Electrical conductivity, TDS, and hardness all drop by over 80%, upgrading the water from saline waste to reusable quality.

Organics and nutrients meet Class III

Effluent organics and nutrients comply with Class III surface water standards, meeting safety requirements for irrigation and livestock.

PV power cuts carbon footprint

Substituting grid electricity with photovoltaic power substantially lowers the system's global warming potential.

Applications

• Mine water treatment：Treat high-salinity mine water to meet reuse or discharge standards.
• Water reuse in arid mining：Turn mine water into irrigation and livestock water in arid mining areas.
• Industrial wastewater desalination：Desalinate high-salinity industrial wastewater via integrated RO and ED.
• Irrigation water treatment：Effluent meets Class III standards for safe irrigation.
