Relying on sunlight as a power source, the desalination unit is sustainable and fully independent. To produce drinking water, pressurised seawater is taken through membranes, where the reverse osmosis process takes place. Its intelligent system is specifically engineered to adapt its pump and the pace of the motor in accordance with the amount of sunlight available, which can vary widely and suddenly. All parameters are continuously and instantly optimised to ensure the best energy performance and guarantee the maximum lifetime of the installation and of its delicate membranes.
