Desolenator Solar-Powered Thermal Desalination¶
Desalination & Distillation • Est. CapEx: Low-cost / Locally fabricated
Technical Overview¶
A circular, solar-powered thermal desalination system that turns saltwater into drinkable water using only the sun. It is designed for coastal regions with water scarcity and is cost-competitive for large corporations and municipalities.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Desalination & Distillation |
| Capital Cost | Low-cost / Locally fabricated |
| Primary Mechanism | Uses solar thermal collectors to boil saline water; the steam is condensed into distilled water, which is then remineralized. The process achieves zero liquid discharge by evaporating water and recovering salt via nanofiltration. |
| Target Scale | Household / Village Cluster |
| Standard Lifespan | 10 - 20 Years |
