The Role of Filtration in Water Conservation

摘要

Water has become a scarce resource in many parts of the world. Once abundantly available, supply is running low and demand both for private and industrial use has constantly increased over time. While nations have historically not given too much attention to the conservation of this valuable resource, today nations find themselves increasingly fighting for a larger share of what is at their disposal. In certain regions of China for example, the maximum amount of water usage is specified in licenses for new production plants. Since the size of the plant is defined by its water usage, process technologies that consume the least amount of water will therefore allow for the largest plant to be built under the terms of a given license agreement.
