Drinking With the Wind
Usage
Best applied in (sub)tropical environments that are characterized by strong and constant winds. Produces fresh drinking water out of brackish water or seawater using Reverse Osmosis Technology. Limited space is needed for running the operation. Environmental friendly technology is used combining wind-, solar- and conventional energy sources.
Target Groups
On island ridges, along coastal areas and in windy tropical climates the DWTW is best used to facilitate:
- Communities, hospitals and schools
- Hotel and Eco-lodges
- Emergency & aid situations
Production
If brackish source water is used, the production of fresh water can be up to 7 m3 per day. If salt water has to be purified, the production is about 2 m3 of fresh water a day.
Technology
State of the art membrane technology is used, removing apart from salt also microbiological impurities. Using a high pressure pump in combination with an energy recovery unit to reduce the energy consumption up to 40%. The energy is provided by a combination of solar panels, a small wind turbine and a connection to the electrical grid or a generator. The applied techniques are tested and proven. In optimal configuration the water price is low and the system is durable.
Benefits of Drinking With the Wind
- Durable and environmental friendly production of water
- Up to 7 m3 of fresh water on daily basis
- Lower energy costs due to usage of wind turbine and solar
- Sate of the art technology, robust and secure
- Environmental friendly application
