Desalination in Australia

Why SWRO is Sustainable & the Future Solution
14. The deployment of SWRO plants on coasts ensures that there is a water catchment
plan in place (for water quality purposes), ensuring the highest degree of ocean
protection.
15. SWRO results in zero evaporation, siltation or salt build-up in dams (e.g. Wellington
Dam, WA).
16. SWRO water quality is not affected by bush fires, first rain or activities in catchments
which can affect water quality and future run-off (e.g. Melbourne).
17. SWRO could ultimately be partially powered by osmotic power (a new form of
renewable energy). Locate SWRO Plants adjacent to WWT Plants.
18. SWRO can utilise greenhouse off–sets from renewable energy development from
anywhere in the world, after all climate change is a global issue.
19. SWRO can be provided at guaranteed full capacity within two years of
environmental clearances being obtained.
20. The future development potential of SWRO is still amazing (especially membranes,
materials, control systems and logic and energy reduction).
