For decades, researchers have been on a quest to find efficient ways to harness the natural resources of solar and water to help solve worldwide shortages of fresh water and electrical power. SWE has met the challenge by developing new, patented technologies that use solar energy to efficiently convert raw water into fresh water and stored energy into electricity. The patented solar distillation system and the thermal energy conversion system surpass all other available technologies, producing gallons of water in the most cost efficient manner possible.
Here is a comparison between reverse osmosis technology and solar desalination technology.
Reverse Osmosis Technology:
This technology does not generate energy from renewable sources, and uses extensive electrical power, which adds to the cost of its operation. The possibility of bacterial contamination and polution is ever present. In addition, plants have complex, costly setups, can only be established On-shore, and need fuel imports.
Solar Desalination Technology:
This technology uses the sun and water to convert raw water to fresh drinking water and stored energy to electricity. Plants can be built On-shore and Off-shore, do not use fuel but require minimum electricity, which makes them very cost-effective to operate. There is no possibility of bacterial contamination or pollution.
