Desolenator by Desolenator implemented by Silal in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) in 2023
The project aims to produce pure water for irrigation with a zero-carbon footprint to decarbonize food production.
Desolenator by Desolenator implemented by Carlsberg Group in Bengal (India) in 2020
The sustainable desalination project, due to complete mid-2021, will create 20,000 litres of clean drinking water using the heat and power of the sun.
Desolenator by Desolenator implemented by Dubai Water and Electricity Authority in Dubaï (United Arab Emirates) in 2022
In collaboration with the Dubai Water and Electricity Authority, Desolenator announced its flagship project: The world’s first solar thermal installation to support net zero sustainable desalination. This is a strong testament to the power of partnership to sustainably tackle big challenges. Desolenator’s mission is to shield communities and companies against the global water and climate crisis. This announcement marks a step towards achieving this goal.
Desolenator
A patented technology that uses 100% solar power to purify any water source into clean drinking water at scale.
A solar-powered distillation system for sustainable desalination of complex water supplies
Today industrial desalination uses 0.4% of the global annual electricity and is on track to be responsible for 5% of global carbon emissions by 2040. Addressing this challenge, Desolenator uses no membranes, chemicals or polluting diesel, unlike traditional technologies. Instead, the patented technology uses the planets most abundant resource – the sun. By harvesting thermal and electrical energy from an integrated PVT panel, Desolenator produces high-quality water, monitored via a control panel. This solution eliminates external energy requirements, aiming to provide drinking water for all at low cost and with low environmental impact.
