GE provided its seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane technology to a new water treatment plant, which can now produce 200,000 imperial gallons per day of desalinated water.
Specifically, the water treatment plant uses GE’s SeaTECH 84 SWRO system.
Bahamas Water and Sewage Corp assistant general manager Philip Beneby said the completion of the Tarpum Bay/Rock Sound Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant was extremely important to the residents of South Eleuthera who have suffered for many years with poor quality water due to high salinity levels.
"GE’s water technology enabled us to provide highly improved water quality to the community," Beneby said.
GE Power & Water engineered systems vice president Jeff Connelly said GE’s advanced technologies can remove minerals and salt from brackish water, which converts previously unusable water into high-purity water for drinking, irrigation or industrial uses.
