LG Chem Ltd. has won a contract to exclusively supply 30,000 of its key filter membrane product, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, for a large-scale water desalination project in Israel.
The joint desalination plant is led by two Israeli companies, Shapir Engineering and Industry and Global Environmental Solutions Ltd., currently under construction in the city of Ashdod.
An RO membrane is made with a polymer that filters the seawater down to the molecular level.
LG Chem’s RO membranes tout 99.89 percent salt removal with its unique thin film nanocomposite technology.
The latest RO membrane supply will be able to process 100 million tons of seawater into drinkable water annually, an amount that can be used by about 1.1 million people.
Once the Ashdod plant goes into operation in 2024, it will treat approximately 300 million tons of seawater using LG Chem’s RO membranes, accounting for more than one-third of the amount of water Israel uses daily.
