Chapter 34 Reverse Osmosis Membranes
He Xiao and Diana didn't stay in Dongguo for too long, and hurried back to Hawke Island.

As soon as he came back, Roger Andre found him and reported to him the recent operation of Umbrella Company.

The first is the production of Umbrella brand coconut milk. After several months of preparation and testing, the first batch of coconut milk production lines on Hawke Island has officially started. It is estimated that the annual output can reach 100 million boxes, and the annual sales can reach 400 million pounds. , and plans to expand this scale to 1000 million boxes and 4000 million pounds within two years. The number of workers on the island of this scale is definitely not enough, and a large number of workers need to be recruited from overseas.

At the same time, Roger Andre is actively developing the sales market. According to preliminary investigations, due to the application of the new raw pressing technology, the taste of Umbrella coconut juice is far superior to that of various existing coconut juices on the market, and the sales prospect is very promising. optimism.

On the other hand, Umbrella is also actively building factories in overseas coconut origins in various ways to produce coconut milk on the spot, including but not limited to the surrounding countries of Salia, Feiji, and Zha in the Remainland...

It is planned to increase the total production of Umbrella coconut water to 1.5 million boxes and total sales to 6 million pounds within five years, reaching the level of competing with several other large coconut milk beverage companies in the world.

Then, according to He Xiao’s request, in order to solve the problem that Hawke Island cannot store a large amount of fresh water for a long time due to geological reasons, and fresh water needs to be imported for a long time, Umbrella Company purchased a research and development company from Fusang Country with a huge sum of 6500 million yuan, and obtained Seawater desalination semi-permeable membrane patents and technical equipment, and based on this, developed an upgraded version of reverse osmosis technology.

There are more than 20 seawater desalination technologies on Bluestar, including reverse osmosis, low multi-effect, multi-stage flash evaporation, electrodialysis, pressure steam distillation, dew point evaporation, hydropower cogeneration, thermal film cogeneration and the use of nuclear energy, Solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy seawater desalination technology, etc., as well as a number of pretreatment and posttreatment processes such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration.

Among them, the reverse osmosis method is currently the most advanced and has the most commercial prospects.

Reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration are a membrane separation and desalination method that was only adopted decades ago.This method uses a semi-permeable membrane that only allows solvents to pass through but not solutes to separate seawater from freshwater.

The biggest advantage of reverse osmosis is energy saving.At present, its energy consumption is only 1/2 of that of electrodialysis and 1/40 of that of distillation.Therefore, since 30 years ago, developed countries such as the United States and Fusang have shifted their development focus to reverse osmosis.

But at present, this technology is not mature enough, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. The key lies in the semi-permeable membrane. At present, the most advanced semi-permeable membrane in the world is not perfect in filtering seawater. To further improve.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still a question of cost.

The current seawater desalination technology has been able to produce domestic water with sufficient water quality, but even the current reverse osmosis seawater desalination technology with the lowest energy consumption is too expensive to be promoted on a large scale. A country with water has commercial value.

How would the world change if a desalination technology with negligibly low cost could be developed?

This is actually something that He Xiao was planning a long time ago. Umbrella can't keep producing coconut milk...

It's time for some black technology.

The reason for choosing seawater desalination technology is because this technology is relatively unpopular compared with chip lithography machines and the like, and it also meets the actual needs of Hawke Island, making it easier to gain trust.

Due to the success of the coconut juice fresh-squeezing technology in the early stage, Hawk Island is now a small oil tycoon in the eyes of outsiders, and some preliminary preparations, such as the acquisition of Fusang Enterprise with a large sum of money, are all news.

On this basis, editing a new entry about seawater and freshwater technology is obviously still like that.

Just like if the oil tyrants say they have developed a new type of seawater desalination technology, most people will believe it, because everyone has heard that these oil tycoons spend a lot of money on scientific research every year to come up with such an unobtrusive desalination technology. Technology, the possibilities are great.

But if Dr. Maldives suddenly announces this, you probably won’t believe it. Why are you, aren’t you a tourist, and technology?

In order to continue to increase his trust, he edited a "world-renowned" doctor named Li Xiangdong, who was invited by Hawke Island to take charge of the Umbrella Research Center and preside over the seawater desalination technology project.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

【SW-8040-HO-3208 reverse osmosis membrane】

[SW-8040-HO-3208 reverse osmosis membrane is a new type of seawater desalination semi-permeable membrane developed by Umbrella Technology Company. It has the characteristics of low operating pressure and stable desalination performance. Its seawater desalination energy consumption is ordinary One-thirtieth of the reverse osmosis membrane, suitable for the treatment of seawater, sub-seawater, and high-concentration brackish water. It can be used for seawater desalination, high-concentration brackish water desalination, power plant boiler feed water and other industrial water treatment. It can also be used in various application fields such as wastewater reuse, landfill leachate treatment...]

……

The difficulty is not small. Although it is not as difficult as reaching the million level, it is very close.

It seems that black technology is not easier to come up with than superpowers.

That's right, after all, water droplets, sophons, and two-way foils are also considered black technology, and there is no essential difference from superpowers...

They are all things created out of nothing under the current world background. After all, the technology of science fiction works does not really exist.

These are also two aspects that he is currently planning.

On the one hand, he needs to develop super powers, increase his own defense capabilities, and ensure his absolute safety, so that he can let go of his hands and feet to do what he wants to do.

On the other hand, if you want to engage in black technology and have such a powerful golden finger, of course you have to do something to this world to help human civilization upgrade. You can't just stay on the earth forever, you have to develop step by step, go to the stars and the sea to see Look.

And to do all of this, it is definitely inappropriate in his own name, and Umbrella must be made bigger and stronger.

Umbrella's establishment of a coconut milk factory overseas is actually just a cover. The real purpose is to expand its influence and make it gradually become a technology giant that truly resounds around the world.

"Roger, I heard that there was an armed attack on Zha, Remainland recently, causing many casualties. The factory we are planning to build there needs to establish an armed force to ensure the safety of our factory personnel." He Xiao Speak to Roger Andre.

"Your Excellency, I am also thinking about this issue. Zhaguo is an important origin of coconuts. The most important thing is that it has not been seized by other coconut milk companies. It is a good development area for us, whether it is for us or It is a good thing for the local area, but the country’s security problems are indeed serious, and many foreign companies in the country need to use their own armed forces to protect the safety of personnel and property.” Roger Andre said.

"Then let's form one too. Let's call it... let's call it 'Umbrella Security Force'. The recruiting targets are mainly veterans from various countries and local young adults, and we need to provide professional training for them." He Xiao said .

"Okay, I'm ready to build it now. There should be no problem with Zhaguo. As long as they give enough money, they will allow anything to appear on their territory. Compared with those foreign super mining companies, Umbrella's production Coconut Juice’s company will not be too conspicuous.” Roger Andre said.

"Haha, maybe one day, we will be the most conspicuous ones." He Xiao said with a smile.
