Solar Water Desalination

Solar Humidification water desalination 
(20 litres per day per panel)

In many regions of the world the sun can be used as a main source of energy to transform seawater into fresh water.
Desaltec panels produce safe, high quality potable water from any source including seawater, groundwater and contaminated or polluted water. It also incorporates Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology when Desaltec panels are in a series, which converts waste brine into drinking water and valuable fractionalised salts (sodium chloride and magnesium chloride – used for dust suppression in the mining industry).

Desaltec Panels are the most efficient and cost effective product of its kind. Low cost and robust, modular solar panels can be ground or roof mounted.

Solar & Wind RO system (250 litres per day)

Desaltec Solar & Wind RO system - is a mobile solar powered water desalination system for seawater.  It provides up to max. 250 l of clean drinking water per hour from any seawater source. Depending on solar radiation and/or wind energy it can run up to 24 hours a day without ongoing fuel and fuel transportation costs. The system is complete with feed pump, automatic back flushing filtration system, batteries, solar panels and controls. An efficient Reverse Osmosis system removes dissolved solids (salt, inorganic contamination etc.) as well as virus and bacteria without requiring toxic chemical treatment. The Desaltec Solar & Wind RO system is ideal for disaster relief, military camps or any other mobile application. The system is very compact, easy to install and to maintain.

  • ready to operate, installed in approx. 30 minutes
  • exceptionally energy efficient
  • easy relocation
  • up to 6’000 litres per day

Some facts
Humanity is based on water. Water covers 75% of the planet's surface. However, about 97.5% of the earth's water is salt water and just 2.5% is fresh water. Mankind and most animals depend on this small percentage of fresh water which is being depleted and contaminated at an alarming rate. The growing shortage of fresh water is a very disconcerting issue caused by population growth and climate change. Today we can address the water-shortage with seawater desalination and concerted conservation efforts. 
Desalination can be achieved through the following technologies: 

  • Multi Stage Flash Distillation (MSF) 
  • Multiple Effect Distillation (MED) 
  • Vapour Compression Distillation (VC)
  • Reverse Osmosis (RO)
  • Electrodialysis (ED)
  • Freezing
  • Membrane Distillation
  • Solar Humidification

All the above technologies often require a lot of energy. At Desaltec we constantly research new technologies to increase efficiency and allow our solutions to run on renewable energy sources.
