Water Desalination: How Is It Done, And How Can We Benefit From It?


Listen Later

What goes into removing salt from water? Water desalination is a complex scientific process that requires an understanding of chemical engineering – and Michael Geitner is at the forefront of the field…

As a Ph.D. Student Researcher at Pennsylvania State University, Michael studies how we can harness the power of science to effectively treat water and practice global conservationism at one of the most fundamental levels possible.

 In this podcast, you will learn:

  • Techniques used to characterize water treatment. 
  • The ways that scientists are learning to clean membrane surfaces.
  • How to treat water in stages leading up to reverse osmosis.
