Water Treatment
Water Treatment Industry
Water will be a major issue in the near future, in the same way that oil has been able to generate during the last decades. Freshwater is a scarce resource worldwide. Fresh water accounts for only 3% of total water on earth. Nearly three-quarters of this freshwater is polar ice, the other quarter of the groundwater is a small fraction of surface water. In reality, only 0.01% of the water on Earth is directly usable. However, the water needs of humanity often grow faster than the increase in the world population.
Hydrological interdependence is not an abstract notion. This is the case of 39 countries for which more than 50% of water resources originate beyond their borders.
Water is the subject of specific treatment of potabilization that evolves through the innovation. Rich Oils Group is also very active in desalination in the Middle East.
