The pump which the water is in slowly raises the pressure within the pump, then feeds the pretreated water through the membrane molecules. Once this happens steam is created, there will always be salt contents left over in the water, so the cycle is gone through several times. Once gone through these steps, the water requires Ph adjustments and degasification before being transported to the water plants to be served as drinking water.
Electrical methods are widely used in the desalination process. These plants use a very small electrical field which removes the salt from water, this method unlike many others doesn't need the membrane factor and in a microscale, which is highly liked in these methods since it is an easier and most efficient method. The electrical field forces the salt out of the water, and it requires fewer materials than any other method of desalination. In theory many people this is the most valuable method of desalination because it requires fewer materials, it is much quicker, and can be used it large
