Solving Potable Water Access

Small Scale Desalination Machines
Sustainable Solutions for Remote Islands

Access to clean, drinkable water is a growing challenge for many areas. ​

 

As demand for water increases, innovative and sustainable solutions are urgently needed.​

Global

Water Crisis

 

 

2 Billion People Affected
Over 2 billion people live in regions experiencing high water stress, with many 
facing daily shortages.

Water Scarcity by 2025

By 2025, half of the world’s population is projected to live in water-stressed areas.

 

Remote Areas Impact

 

Groundwater Depletion

Many islands rely heavily on groundwater, which is being depleted faster than it can be replenished. This leads to wells running dry or becoming contaminated with saltwater.

Expensive Water Imports

Transporting water to remote islands is not only costly but also logistically challenging, often leading to inconsistent supply.

​​​Future Outlook

 

Climate Change Effects

Rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns due to climate change will exacerbate water shortages. For example, some regions are expected to see a decrease in rainfall by up to 20%.

Population Growth

The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, increasing the demand for freshwater resources.

 

Increased Tourism

Popular tourist destinations, especially remote islands, face even greater 
pressure on their limited water resources, with tourists using up to three times more water than local residents.

 

Health and Economic Impacts

 

Waterborne Diseases

Lack of access to clean water can lead to the spread of waterborne diseases, which kill over 3.4 million people annually.

Economic Losses

Water scarcity is projected to cost some regions up to 6% of their GDP due to impacts on agriculture, health, and incomes.

 

Environmental Degradation

 

Ecosystem Damage

Over-extraction of groundwater can lead to the collapse of local ecosystems, 
affecting flora and fauna dependent on these water sources.

Soil Salinization

Excessive groundwater extraction near coastlines can lead to saltwater intrusion, rendering the soil infertile and unsuitable for agriculture.

Introducing SmallScale Desalination

Machines

 

What is Desalination?

Desalination is the process of removing salt and impurities from seawater to
produce drinkable water.

Small Scale Desalination

These systems are designed for communities, resorts, and properties with moderate water needs. They are compact, efficient, and can be tailored to meet specific demands.

Solar Power Integration

 

Desalination Units

Solar panels can be used to power desalination units, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.

Local Population

Solar power can also be utilized to generate electricity for the local population, providing a sustainable and reliable energy source. This dual-use of solar power ensures that both water and energy needs are met in an eco-friendly manner.

Advantages

 

Reliability

Provides a steady and reliable source of clean water.

Independence

Reduces reliance on external water supplies and deliveries.

Sustainability

Solar power lowers carbon footprint and operational costs.

Scalability

Easily scaled to match the size and needs of any community.
Revolutionizing
​​

Components

Desalination Unit

The core system includes reverse osmosis membranes to remove salt and impurities from seawater. Units are available with capacities ranging from 1 ton per hour to 10 tons per hour, ensuring they are compact and efficient. These units fit into a 40-foot container for larger capacities and much smaller containers for 1T and 3T units. Units for larger production output are available as well

Setup and Maintenance

 

Quick Installation

These units can be set up in less than 6 months, ensuring rapid deployment.

Low Maintenance Requirements

The compact design means fewer components to maintain, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Low Running Costs

Efficient operation ensures that running costs remain low, making it a cost-effective solution.

Operation

 

Water Intake

Seawater is drawn in through intake pipes.

Pre-treatment

Seawater passes through a series of filters to remove large particles and biological contaminants.​​

Desalination Process

High-pressure pumps push the pre-treated seawater through reverse osmosis membranes, separating the salt and impurities from the water.

Post-treatment

The desalinated water is then treated to adjust pH levels and add essential minerals.

Brine Disposal

The by-product of the desalination process, known as brine, is carefully managed. The brine can be easily diluted and safely disposed back into the ocean with minimal environmental impact. Advanced dispersion techniques ensure that the brine is spread over a wide area, reducing its concentration and mitigating any potential harm to marine life.

Storage and Distribution

Treated water is stored in tanks and distributed as needed.

Economic and 

Environmental 

Benefits

 

Cost Savings

Significant reduction in water purchase and transport costs.

ROI

Desalination investment pays off over time through savings and improved water security.

 

Environmental Impact

Lower emissions and reduced plastic waste compared to bottled water.

Weather Independence

Unlike traditional water sources, desalination is not dependent on rainfall, ensuring a consistent supply even during droughts.

 

Groundwater Preservation

Reduces the strain on local aquifers, preventing over-extraction and salinization of wells.

 

Sustainable Source

Seawater is an abundant and reliable source, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Solar Power Benefits

 

Off-Grid Solution 

Solar panels can provide an off-grid solution, making the system self-sufficient and ideal for remote locations.

Grid Integration 

Alternatively, solar panels can be combined with the local grid to ensure a stable power supply.

Cost Reduction 

Solar power can significantly reduce water production costs by providing a cheap and sustainable source of electricity.

Reliable Energy 

Offers a reliable source of electricity, enhancing overall system efficiency and reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
