Desalination systems have long been confined to large-scale applications owing to their heavy energy consumption and complex installation and maintenance. Well, not anymore.
Elemental Water Makers desalination products are designed to be accessible and affordable for domestic usage. Powered by solar energy, our systems are efficient – and a sustainable alternative to desalination plants powered by fossil fuels. Owing to its versatility, the EWM solar desalination applications are wide and varied.
Who Can Benefit from Solar Desalination?
EWM Chemical-free seawater desalination systems are ideal for regions vulnerable to water scarcity and where seawater is the only viable source. It’s already been adopted in localities in Africa and the Pacific region. EWM solutions have proven to be a lifeline for communities facing water shortages due to inaccessibility or salinisation of freshwater resources as a result of climate change.
Common Uses of EWM Solar Desalination Systems
Governments
Having fresh water produced without the need to use fossil-powered energy is an absolute win for communities at all levels. We can satisfy the demand for freshwater for both local municipalities and nationwide governments as EWM’s systems are capable of operating at all scales.Resorts
With access to plenty of seawater, your resort can benefit immensely from a self-sufficient water supply system like ours. Desalinated water can be utilised for drinking, cooking, bathing, laundry, and recreational uses.Â
Households
EWM solar desalination solutions are available in containerised design to suit small-scale applications and are great for residential applications in coastal areas. Even if your property is in a remote area where electricity costs are higher, it does not matter. Our off-grid models are designed to utilise solar energy for desalination. With complete removal of impurities and post-filtration treatment, the water is completely safe for drinking and other uses.Â
Here are some common household solar desalination uses:
- Provides access to clean and safe water for household consumption.
- Used for cooking meals, ensuring the water is free of contaminants.
- Serves as a suitable water source for appliances like washing machines, preventing clogging.
- Ideal for watering home gardens and plants, with efficient water usage.
- Acts as a backup source for freshwater during disruptions to the regular water supply.
Emergencies
In the event of a disaster or other emergencies, the demand for clean water can surpass the availability. EWM desalination products can be beneficial in immediate response efforts and provide relief for those in need.Â
Industries
By integrating solar desalination, industries can achieve greater water independence and sustainability while minimising their environmental impact. This technology is particularly beneficial for sectors like agriculture, mining, and food processing, where consistent water supply is crucial.
Military
Solar desalination systems provide a vital resource for military operations and are especially useful in remote or dry areas where freshwater is hard to get. By using these systems, the military can have a reliable water source without needing to transport water from far away, making operations more efficient and sustainable.
Water Utilities
Water utilities can leverage solar desalination applications to efficiently produce fresh water from seawater or brackish sources. These systems help reduce operational costs by cutting reliance on traditional energy sources. They also enhance water supply stability and sustainability, providing a reliable and eco-friendly solution.
Communities
These systems are especially useful in remote or arid areas, providing a reliable water supply while minimising energy costs and environmental impact. By using solar energy, they support both water security and eco-friendly practices. We also partner with NGOs or local governments to offer EWM solar desalination systems customised to suit requirements of different communities.
