Low energy facility

Low energy facility : DMGF Non-powered reverse, Energy recovery device(ERO), Hybrid Two-Pass RO, Filter press dehydrator
DMGF Non-powered reverse Energy recovery device(ERO) Hybrid Two-Pass RO Filter press dehydrator
DMGF Non-powered reverse

Through non-powered reverse washing energy saving

Energy recovery device(ERO)

Through the pressure recovery of concentrated water energy saving

Hybrid Two-Pass RO

According to water quality conditions optimizing RO process operation

Filter press dehydrator

By reducing the function rate Reduce sludge production

  1. Phase 1 (by 2030)Large-scale desalination by K-water Securing core technologies

    Large-scale facility operation and Pilot
    application of operational technology

    Private Plant construction,
    material and part development

    Securing seawater
    desalination technology

    Test bed for technology validation and incubation
  2. Phase 2 (by 2035)Expansion to coastal areas Building desalination clusters
    Development of new businesses in Pohang, Yeosu, Daesan, etc
    Platform for R&D, validation, and commercialization
  3. phase 3 (from 2035)Entering global markets Supporting domestic companies abroad
    Develop new business targeting Middle East market (Saudi, UAE, etc.)
    Overseas projects via public-private partnerships New growth for the water industry
