SEAWATER DESALINATION
Hydrovolta’s advanced desalination technology, SonixED, addresses the urgent global issue of water scarcity with an innovative approach that combines electrodialysis reversal, special membranes, and ultrasound technology. This solution not only enhances water recovery and reduces energy consumption but also minimizes environmental impact and chemical dependency. Hydrovolta’s technology offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for sustainable water treatment, targeting both industrial and municipal applications globally.
Current Challenes
- Water Scarcity: Over 3 billion people could face water scarcity by 2050
- Fouling: Membrane fouling (ionic, organic, and biofouling) reduces efficiency.
- Low Efficiency: Maximum 40% water recovery in traditional desalination methods.
- High Energy Consumption: Requires 4-13 kWh per 1000 gallons of water.
- Chemical Waste: Significant amounts of pretreatment chemicals and waste.
Our Solutions
- Reduced Energy Consumption: 30% less power consumption compared to traditional desalination methods.
- Lower Chemical Dependency: 50% reduction in chemical use and storage
- Minimal Environmental Impact: Only 2-5% waste water, with potential for nitrate recovery, reducing environmental contamination.
- Electrodialysis Reversal (EDR): Enhances ion transfer.
- Special Membranes: Improves filtration efficiency.
- Ultrasound Technology: Controls membrane fouling and enhances ion transfer through micro mixing.
- Standalone Containerized Systems: Scalable, plug-and-play solutions with a small footprint and easy operation.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) with a 24-month return on investment (ROI).
- Successful Pilots: Projects in Belgium (drinking water) and Germany (industrial water reuse) demonstrating up to 98% water recovery.
