The Combined Fermentation System

Sea Water Desalination Technology

There are many different types of processes used in desalination projects across KSA. According to the Saudi government body that regulates electricity and water generation industry, the Electricity and Co-Generation Regulatory Authority, as of 2018, 64 percent of the Kingdom’s desalinated water is produced by the multi-stage flash process (MSF), 20 percent is produced via reverse osmosis (RO), and 16 percent is produced using multi-effect distillation (MED) (US-Saudi Business Council, 2021).

The Combined Fermentation System Sea Water Desalination Technology is a Brine water treatment system that uses microorganisms to purify Brine water The CFS has has been used by the Japanese for decades to to treat Sewage, Industrial and Brine water. It is Japanese advanced technology that treats various forms of contaminated water and turns it into clean water.

The major advantage of this technology is that it does not use any chemicals and relies solely on numerous types of microorganisms that analyses contaminated water and processing costs are saved as there are no sludge deposits. The Sea environment is also safe as there is no salty rejects that are inserted back into the sea.

The Combined Fermentation System Desalination Process Stages in a Desalination Plant :

1- Storage Tanks:

Raw sea water is initially stored in storage tanks at the source.

2- Ageing Tanks:

Slow agitation flow through the tank for constant properties and temperature control, while microorganisms present in the ambient medium eliminate any odor or harmful emission.

3- SS filter:

Filters are used to remove suspended solids and other particles from the liquid stream.

4- pH Adjustment Tank:

This tank contains correction and neutralizing filters as well as microorganisms to maintain a balanced pH between 6.9 and 7.1.

5- MLSS Fermenter:

It is made up of microorganisms and non-biodegradable suspended matter to ensure that there is always enough active biomass to consume the applied amount of organic pollutant.

6- High Concentration Fermenter:

similar to the previous stage, but with a slower flow rate and more concentrated microorganism.

7- Settling tanks:

Water is collected and allowed to settle to the bottom of the tank, where any remaining debris or heavy sediments (if any) are automatically swept out for removal.

8- MLSS Fermenter:

Similar to step 5, water is introduced to various microorganisms for further treatment. The volume of salts in the water has already been reduced to around 70% in this stage.

9- Fermentation Synthesis tank:

For further treatment, the water flows at a steady rate into numerous tanks, each containing different types of microorganisms for a steady rate of treatment while it flows; at this stage, the treatment reaches 85%.

10- Settling Tanks:

Treated water is stored in settling tanks for further filtration, particle settlement (if any), and sample testing.

11- Biocatalyst Tanks:

Water is pumped into these tanks, where it flows at a constant rate through highly nutritional microorganisms, to provide the drinking quality of minerals and salts for potable water as specified. The water is more than 95% treated at this point.

12- Carbon catalyst tank:

Treated water is subjected to carbocatalysis, which employs heterogeneous carbon materials to remove any microorganisms that may be suspended in the water.

13

The end result Clean water is passed through several RO membranes for additional proof clearing.

14

The water is then exposed to (UV) Ultraviolet Rays.

15

Finally, Chlorine is automatically added in calculated amounts to prevent contamination of the water during transportation.

16

Water is transported to its final destination via a network or tankers.
