Freshwater in global warming’s dangers to water bodies as the need of the hour is to develop robust desalination methods to avert a water crisis. But a complete and perfect desalination technique may not exist yet.
Finnish company has come very close to desalinating ocean water which amounts for 96.5 per cent of all water on Earth.
Solar Desalination Device
The new method by Solar Water Solutions (SWS) developed a unique method to desalinate water.
It has zero operational costs, no emissions and desalinates water without polluting the environment.
Dutch group called “Climate Fund Managers”, the system is deploye in Africa’s Kenya.
It will cater to at least 400,000 people living in rural parts of Kenya by 2023.
Every hour the desalination plants will convert anywhere between 4,000-7,000 litres of seawater into fresh water.
As by the name you guess it is power entirely by solar energy.
This system can also desalinate 10,000 liters of brackish water each hour, which forms the middle ground in terms of Earth water and not as salty as ocean water but not as drinkable as freshwater.
Eliminates concerns with Reverse Osmosis (RO)
It can be easily transport to coastal regions in impoverished regions.
This Solar Desalination system is also changing our understanding of reverse-osmosis method, which has been long thought dangerous to both humans and our natural habitats.
The company eliminate the toxicity associate with reverse osmosis by using light cleaners like citric acid to clean the membranes.
Or the toxic chemicals are use in the process that render the water contaminated and capable of killing plants.
The remaining from the process ought to be dealt with in an environmentally-conscious fashion to maximise the potential of this desalination technology without harming the natural habitat near the plants.
