新疆地表水资源极其缺乏,而许多地区的地下水为含盐量高的苦咸水,或高含氟水,石西油田位于沙漠腹地,地下水水质有多项指标严重超过了《国家生活饮用水卫生标准》GB5749— 1985,不能直接饮用。为了解决沙漠油田职工饮用水问题,石西油田采用了一套 30m³/h反渗透饮用水处理装置,并获得成功,处理后水质远高于国家生活饮用水标准。

Xinjiang lacks surface water source scriously, The underground water in many areas is brackish containing high salt or fluoride. Shixi oil field lies in the center of the desert. The underground water can't be drunk directly because many indexes of itsquality are beyond those required by the"Standard of drinking water" GB5749- 1985. They have successfully used a set of reverse osmosis unit( capacity 30 m³/ h) to solve this problem.After the treatment, the water quality meets the requirement of the standard of drinking water.
