Shanghai Electric Water Engineering Company has successfully developed a new type of thermal and membrane hybrid seawater desalination technical solution with waste heat utilization through combining and optimizing thermal and membrane processes. The new hybrid process has achieved innovative combination and efficient utilization of system heat, seawater, and product water. It can greatly reduce the plant layout, project investment and operational cost. So the new F-MED-RO hybrid process is an efficient, economical, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly innovative technical seawater desalination solution. At present, Shanghai Electric has successfully built large-scale hybrid seawater desalination demonstration projects and, such as Hebei Fengnan Steel project and Shandong Yulong Petrochemical project. These have achieved significant economic and social benefits.
