• With increase in the levels of pollutant in the
  water, it is imperative we start treating our
  water before and after using it too. Although
  there are various methods to treat wastewater
  before it is released into seas and oceans,
  desalination is one of the most effective water
  treatment processes. Water treatment companies
  are using desalination process for their work.
  Desalination is the process of removing salt from
  sea water and making it safe for human
  consumption. However, a major hurdle impeding
  this methods wide spread adoption is the
  environmentally harmful by-product brine. Brine
  is a salty solution that has 10 times the
  salinity levels as that of the ocean. It is
  extremely harmful to soil, impairs vegetations
  ability to absorb nutrients and is toxic to
  animals. To counter this problem, a group of
  researchers from the Columbia University have
  developed a process designed specially to purify
  industrial hyper-saline brines. The team has come
  up with a process and named it Temperature Swing
  Solvent Extraction (TSSE). Where current
  desalination methods can handle brine twice as
  salty as the ocean, TSSE is a high efficiency
  process capable of desalinating brine up to seven
  times as salty. Desalination process works well
  for purified water generation system.
