Sixty years ago, during the 1960s, desalination began to emerge as a groundbreaking technology, driven by significant innovation and R&D efforts from the JFK administration. This period marked the start of global collaborations that enabled the flourishing of arid regions, transforming the world as we know it today. One of the most notable achievements in recent years has been reducing energy consumption for desalination from over 20-30 kWh/m3 to less than 3 kWh/m3, a feat exemplified by the concept of energy recovery.

In this episode, we are fortunate to have the leading global technology company in this field, Energy Recovery Inc. Rolando Bosleman joins us to explain the concepts of desalination and energy recovery, the fundamentals, innovations, and key data that highlight the progress made. He will also address common questions from our subscribers, providing clarity and insights into this vital technology.
