Potable water supplies have been significantly affected by climate change and population growth in Perth, Western Australia, where the Perth Seawater Desalination Plant plays a key role in ensuring reliable, high-quality drinking water.
The plant, which was the largest in the southern hemisphere when it was constructed, has around 18,000 DuPont FilmTec™ reverse osmosis (RO) elements. The facility operates at a recovery rate of 45 percent for the first pass seawater RO and 90 percent for the second pass brackish water RO.
