Desalinization Plants (Reverse Osmosis) energy supplied with solar panels

13-06-2012Aguasin---Headquarters, Chemical Products, Plants and Equipments

 Aguasin it is developing water desalinization plants, (Reverse Osmosis) operated with energy from solar panels, which allows an initial savings in energy consumption between the 60-70 % .- In this way can produce water of drinking quality or industrial to a lower cost of operation and with sustainable energy

 

 

Desalination Plant

Solar Panel

For a water treatment plant operated by reverse osmosis in the desert, and considering 8 hours of solar radiation, we can achieve the following performance:

  • Standard values can be set to 1 KW per 10 m2
  • In the Atacama Desert you can achieve up to 500w/m2.
  • Approximately to 1 MW, it requires an area of 1 - 2 hectares of panels.
  • A desalinization plant that produces 5 to 7 m3/hr of drinking water or industrial demand approximately 200 m2 cells.
  • The energy saving is between 60 and 70%.

 

The desalination plants of designed treatment with this technology, will produce the water daily in a period of 8-10 hours to avoid the use of storage, and it is always necessary to take an alternative source to supply the starting moments of operation.

For the development of this project, Aguasin is working with the support of the IBC company of Germany, leaders in sustainable energy solutions at a global level.
