Global Desalination Report Coming Soon
This new report analyses the global Desalination market, the market drivers and the key components for future growth and development. The desalination market was still feeling the effects of the economic downturn in 2010 and many projects were put on hold. As in previous years, the general shift from energy demanding thermal desalination technologies, such as multi-stage flash (MSF) and multi effect distillation (MED), to membrane technologies, such as reverse osmosis (RO), is continuing apace. There are still some thermal projects. As in previous years, the general shift from energy demanding thermal desalination technologies, such as multi-stage flash (MSF) and multi effect distillation (MED), to membrane technologies, such as reverse osmosis (RO), is continuing apace.
