MAEK-Kazatomprom LLP operates sea water desalination plant in Aktau, Mangystau from 1967. Now its power comes to 74,000 m 3 /day. Earlier it was a part of combined combinate with Nuclear plant and gas electric power stations. Also in Aktau there is membrane technology water desalination plant Kaspiy, which power comes to 20,000 m 3 /day
Before the Industrial Revolution, desalination was primarily of concern to oceangoing ships, which otherwise needed to keep on board supplies of fresh water. Sir Richard Hawkins (1562–1622), who made extensive travels in the South Seas, reported that he had been able to supply his men with fresh water by means of shipboard distillation. [16]
Solar desalination is a technique that harnesses solar energy to convert saline water into fresh water, making it suitable for human consumption and irrigation. The process can be categorized based on the type of solar energy source utilized.

Freshwater needs are on an ever-rising trend around the world, and the pressure lies on the largest desalination companies in the world to mitigate the water stress. With over 97.5% of the total ...
China is working to meet the country's growing demand for fresh water by building and improving desalination plants. In doing so the nation is on a path to growing the next big industry, and ...
Perth is an ideal candidate for reverse osmosis plants as it has a relatively dry and arid climate where conventional freshwater resources are scarce, yet it is surrounded by ocean. [15] Western Australia's Water Corporation announced the Perth desalination plant in April 2005. [15]
The flow of water can be reversed if a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure is applied on the higher concentration side. In Reverse osmosis desalination systems, seawater pressure is raised above the natural osmotic pressure, forcing pure water through membrane pores to the fresh water side. Reverse osmosis (RO) is the most common ...
