Desalinating water has become one of the best alternatives to combat the water stress affecting a growing number of cities and communities, as evidenced by the high number of plants already operating around the world and the number of new projects underway. that affects a growing number of cities and communities, as evidenced by the high number of plants already operating around the world and the number of new plant projects underway. But desalination has several problems: it is a centralized facility, requires the use of chemicals and consumable parts, and has a relatively high carbon footprint.

The Dutch company Desolenator proposes an alternative solution: distilling water with modular units, which use solar energy solar energy and have low capital and operating costs, no consumable parts and no chemicals or CO2 emissions.

Desolenator's system system uses solar panels that capture both electrical energy and thermal energy from the sun (by also capturing heat, the panel cools down (by also capturing heat, the panel cools and is more efficient at generating electricity). Unconsumed electricity is stored in batteries, while unconsumed heat is stored in hot water tanks with a thermal battery, ensuring 24-hour operation of the system.

This energy powers an apparatus designed to distill complex water into pure, high quality water. The system features a water mineralization process to make it suitable to make it suitable for consumption or for specific production applications.

The beauty of the system, says Desolenator, is that it is modular equipment with the capacity to purify 250 cubic meters of water per day per module, which is easily scalable and has a wide variety of applications. The company is currently implementing two projects with this system, one in Dubai and another in the Indian state of West Bengal. West Bengal.
