Desalination technology: Electro-static steam-compression powered by photovoltaics |
We are a team of researchers, engineers and students, but most of all we are friends! Our goal in this competition is to contribute to the developments in the field of environment-friendly desalination. Our desalination system is based on the same principle as Mechanical Vapor Compression. The main difference is that our compressor unit is based on another physical principle (details cannot be published yet due to intellectual property reasons). The plant‘s design will be very compact. Major expected advantages as compared to other desalination methods include low requirements for feed-water purity, high energy efficiency and low noise levels. |
