Highlights of the Invention
This invention, involving water desalination or purification, is different from the current three methods available today. The current methods; reverse osmosis,
electrodialysis and distillation have numerous limitations, which hinder large-scale usage of ocean or sea water.
The key features of the present invention are:
- Salty or contaminated water is evaporated at low temperatures, thus requiring less energy to do the job.
- The medium for providing an opportunity for evaporation (bisque fired clay) is readily available and inexpensive.
- The amount of water evaporated depends on the surface area provided to cause the evaporation therefore the method becomes more efficient as surface area
is expanded. The only limiting factor to expanding surface area is the amount of building space available for the job.
- In warm climates evaporation can be achieved through direct solar heating and little or no energy is required to achieve it.
- Evaporation can occur 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without interruption.
- The process emulates the way nature purifies water.
- An evaporation facility can be built anywhere in the world where salt water exists and fresh water is in short supply.
- The process does not need expensive technology to achieve success.
