  1. Seawater desalinationmarket

  2. Problem • 1/3 of world population live in the countries with water shortage problems; • according to the experts' forecast this figure will increase to 2/3 by 2025. • Water availability and its sanitary state Extreme risk (less than 50%) High risk Average risk Low risk N/a • Conclusion: considering acute fresh water deficiency, seawater desalination issue has become more and more burning.

  3. Water reserve Total water volume on Earth is about 1400 mlnkm3

  4. Known seawater desalination methods - distillation(MSF MD MED MVC); - reverse osmosis (RO); - electrodialysis (ED); - congelation (FR); - ion exchange. Reverse osmosis is a high-demand method in the market Reverse osmosis Multistage Flash Distillation Multi-Effect Distillation Electrodialysis Hybrid technologies Electro-deionisation

  5. Technology shortcomings Given technologies have essential drawbacks: - high energy intensity; - environmental hazards during operation of desalination plants; - high skilled operating staff required.

  6. Seawater desalination market • As of the end of 2011 there are 14 865 desalination factories, their aggregate capacities - 67.4 mln m3 per day • Annual increase in production capacity is about 11.2 % • In money terms the desalination market is estimated at 12 billions US dollars as of 2011 and this figure is increasing annually

  7. Core desalination market segments
