STAND-ALONE SYSTEM FOR THE PURIFICATION OF BRACKISH WATER DIRECTLY POWERED BY PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR ENERGY - Banco de Patentes

An stand-alone system for the desalination and disinfection of water by electrodialysis (ED) and the necessary water pre- and post-conditioning steps has been developed. The system is sustainable and environmentally-friendly being directly powered by a photovoltaic solar plant without using battery racks. This new system substantially decreases both the investment and maintenance costs and it can be adjusted to be used in water from very different sources.
