Desalination

A newly-developed membrane that incorporates carbon nanotubes could lead to a faster and more energy-efficient method of water desalination.

MIT researchers have developed a portable, solar-powered water desalination system that could provide water in disaster zones and remote regions around the globe.

The Sea Kettle concept life raft not only aims to provide shelter from the elements but also drinking water from the sea

IBM has teamed with Saudi's King Abdulaziz City For Science and Technology to develop a desalination plant energized by highly efficient solar power

A new highly permeable, surface-structured membrane that resists the clogging that typically occurs when seawater, brackish water and waste-water are purified could help to significantly reduce desalination operating costs.

A new approach to desalination, called ion concentration polarization, could lead to small, portable desalination units that could deliver enough fresh water to supply the needs of a family or small village.

The mini-mobile-modular (M3) “smart” water desalination and filtration system could help determine the feasibility of using available water as a source for a large-scale desalination plant.
