Submerged deep beneath the sea below Jeju Island, at the southernmost tip of the Korean peninsula, lies an amazing treasure: a gigantic pocket of "lava water". An estimated 300,000 years in the making, the 2.7 billion tons of ancient seawater has been naturally filtered and trapped between layers of volcanic basalt – and is exceptionally pure.
Local officials keen to boost the island's economy– and diversification from dependency on tourism and agriculture – were quick to recognize the industrial potential of their aquatic cache and put a new desalination plant out to tender. Krosys, a leading Korean firm with long experience in SWRO and wastewater systems, won the tender with a plant based on Danfoss high-pressure pumps and ERDs.
