Abstract | A young Dutch company has developed a new concept in which safe drinking water can be provided. A relatively small windmill can be used for drinking water, sanitation water or irrigation. With this system it is possible to desalinate large quantities of water with little energy. The company is looking for a technical cooperation with a strong partner in region with expertise in water technology. The technology will be adapted for specific needs of the companies demand. |
Details | The company has developed an innovative technology and working on new and revolutionary concepts for the production of fresh water. The technology is especially focused on those area’s where there is limited infrastructure and available surface water is polluted or brackish solutions for safe water supply and desalination are needed.The concept is based on a modified “standart-type” windmill in which no electricity is produced but heat by using a heat pump. This heat is used in a “flash evaporation” process. Water that evaporated under low pressure by means of a heat pump condenses again and returns heat to the evaporator. This system makes it possible to desalinate large quantities of water with little energy. Expected yield is approx. 200m3 and more dependent on the size and power capacity of the chosen. In this way different water sources such as sea water or polluted surface water can be purified. A relatively small windmill already has a significant capacity and can be used for drinking water, sanitation water or irrigation. Innovative Aspects: No fuel/electricity consumption therefore minimal environmental impact, robust and proven components, no need for infrastructure, local water production. Local production possible in a world-wide license structure. |
