High-Efficiency, Zero-Waste Molten Salt Desalination System
At ONB Engineering Research and Technical Services, we are developing MS-DeSal, an innovative solar-driven desalination technology that integrates molten salt technology with a unique bubble-column process. The MS-DeSal system is designed to efficiently convert seawater and brine into freshwater while minimizing environmental impact and waste. Unlike traditional desalination methods like reverse osmosis (RO) and multistage flash (MSF), our system leverages solar thermal energy and molten salts to provide a sustainable, scalable solution.
Key Features:
Solar-Driven Efficiency: Utilizes molten salts for superior heat retention, allowing continuous operation even during low solar input periods.
Novel Desalinator Technology: Vaporizes seawater directly within a highly intensified medium, reducing brine waste by up to 40%.
Low-Cost, Scalable Design: Techno-economic analysis shows competitive water production costs, making it viable for both small-scale and large-scale applications.
Environmental Sustainability: Eliminates fossil fuel reliance and significantly reduces brine waste, contributing to global carbon reduction efforts.
Our approach pushes beyond the current state of desalination by integrating renewable solar energy with advanced molten salt technology, creating a zero-waste, cost-effective solution for water-scarce regions, especially within the Sunbelt.
