ABSTRACT

According to Global Water Intelligence (GWI 2010) the market for water reuse is on the verge of major expansion, outpacing desalination. Especially capital expenditures on advanced water reuse are expected to grow significantly. The market will migrate away from irrigation, towards the production of water, which passes the quality requirement of industrial clients, and for potable reuse based on microfiltration, reverse osmosis and advanced disinfection. Despite being a more expensive process, this water reuse can provide better returns on investment.
