Municipality of Tinos
Tinos Island (Greece)
The Mangrove Still System (MSS) configuration was installed at the site between July and September 2020. During September 2020 the system was running in a trial mode, while the evaluating operation period started at the end of May-beginning of June 2021.
According to current measurements the system operates in line with the required production KPIs (210 L/d of freshwater and 2 kg/d of salt). In order to monitor the MSS operation and enable controlling and automating capabilities of HYDRO5, a PLC system with online (industrial and low-cost) equipment has been installed.
The system processes 180-200 m³ of seawater annually, achieving sustainable water use. It generates over 70 m³ of freshwater each year, converting saltwater and brine efficiently. The facility yields more than 1.5 tons of tropical fruits annually, supporting local agriculture and consumption.
Our planet is losing a net of 8.1million acres of forest every year. Irrigation is responsible for 70% of all freshwater withdrawals in the globe. The MTP aims at solving these important environmental challenges and more through the introduction of a disruptive technology. This solution aims to restore forests and agricultural land through the use of marine water. The MTP technology has 3 different components, which all together represent a unique innovation that can revolutionize the fight to climate change: Desalination units which utilize solar energy to evaporate water and collect its condensate; the Waterboxx Plant Coocon, enabling the growth of trees, bushes and plants in extreme circumstances; and IoT modules enabling monitoring of plants to collect, analyze and share data for user-friendly purposes. This solution offers profitability and sustainability through technology.
