Desalination in Australia

Conclusions (Continued)
• PSDP will be eclipsed by a more efficient plant, somewhere in the
world within 3 years, most likely Perth‟s second plant, the Southern
Seawater Desalination Plant, which has to be 80% wind and the other
20% other renewable plus membrane pre-treatment.
• Water Reuse and desalination are sustainable water sources that will
contribute to solving Australia‟s/ California‟s water resource issues.
• SWRO will still become more efficient with new Low Energy High
Rejection Membranes, Large Diameter Membranes, Membrane Pretreatment,
new materials and logic and control systems.
