There is an overwhelming need for improving the livelihood of impoverished farmers in remote communities with limited access to electricity and clean water. One innovative solution is to offer them an integrated, low cost and maintenance, solar-powered desalination system for self sufficiency in supply of freshwater and electricity at substantially reduced physical footprint. Our project is designed to address this very shortcoming. We use a jointly developed membrane-based solar desalination technology and draw from our vast experience with desalination processes to achieve our objectives.
We are currently investigating various design aspects of small (i.e., rooftop scale) production modules, comprised of solar and water filtration units, with the objective of achieving best fit solutions in terms of practicality, robustness for field operation and ease of deployment at low cost in remote locations. Initial trials of our integrated system point to its potential for application in extreme weather conditions for cogeneration of freshwater and energy. Such a system can also be potentially used on board of seagoing vessels, as well as heavy army vehicles and ambulances operating in remote locations.
