Elemental Water Makers Solar Reverse Osmosis¶
Rainwater & Storage • Est. CapEx: Low-cost / Locally fabricated
Technical Overview¶
A containerized, plug-and-play reverse osmosis desalination system powered by solar energy for coastal properties and communities. It combines PV generation with high-efficiency energy recovery to deliver freshwater with minimal battery storage.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Rainwater & Storage |
| Capital Cost | Low-cost / Locally fabricated |
| Primary Mechanism | Solar PV powers high-pressure pumps that force saline water through advanced reverse osmosis membranes. Energy recovery devices reclaim up to 70% of hydraulic energy from the brine stream. The modular, containerized package supports rapid deployment and daytime water production. |
| Target Scale | Household / Village Cluster |
| Standard Lifespan | 10 - 20 Years |
