A new de-salination process from M.I.T.


This could be a great device for parts of Baja that lack fresh water, or for boats. There is no mention of what the power requirements are, or at what rate it can produce clean water, but it looks promising.

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

It's a small prototype to demonstrate feasibility:

"a fully integrated prototype (controller, pumps, and battery) packaged into a portable unit (42 × 33.5 × 19 cm3, 9.25 kg, and 0.33 L/h production rate) controlled by a smartphone, tested for battery-powered field operation."

"The portable system desalinates brackish water and seawater (2.5–45 g/L) into drinkable water (defined by WHO guideline), with the energy consumptions of 0.4–4 (brackish water) and 15.6–26.6 W h/L (seawater), respectively."

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.est.1c08466

I have no idea how these specs compare to other small desalination systems.

People have been working on this for 12-14 years. So far no product. The energy requirements are less of a problem with the price of solar coming down so much. Actually the disposal requirements for the concentrated salt solution put forth by the Mexican Government (CONAGUA) are a bigger problem for sea water to fresh water conversion than the technology to do it.

WG,

If you’re in California bad governance, the Costal Commission and NIMBYs are the reason you don’t have sea water conversion now not technology.

As for a plan, yes I do have one. Move to BCS north of Cabo where we have a great solar powered well.

I don’t drink, but here’s a read for you!


Los Angeles (CNN)As California battles a historic drought and a water crisis looms, the state's coastline protection agency on Thursday unanimously rejected the development of a $1.4 billion desalination plant in Huntington Beach that would have converted ocean water into municipal water for Orange County residents.

Eleven members of the California Coastal Commission voted against the facility, which water treatment developer Poseidon Water has been trying to build for decades.
Poseidon said the plant would be capable of producing up to 50 million gallons of drinking water a day, helping to make the region more drought resilient.

Did you bother to find out why the idea was rejected?

It may be a better idea to stop watering golf courses.

The majority of water in California is still heavily subsidized and virtually given to agricultural interests.

Yes, as would anyone who has lived in California post AQMD and Costal Commission. The CNN article is for a Left leaning news outlet generally surprised at the rejection!

The reasons given in the article ran from it would exacerbate sea level rise and might harm the marine life to the cost of the water wold be passed along to the users. The following quote is typical.

“On its website dedicated to fighting the Huntington Beach plant, the non-profit Surfrider Foundation indicates the water the project would provide is not needed, calling the potential plant "a waste of money."

NIMBYs!

Stopping golf courses from watering sounds like a plan until you discover many of the golf courses are watered with water from sewage plants that would otherwise be released back into the ocean. Those purple hydrants that you see are part of the recycled water system!

The water that flows down the LA river into the ocean is good recycled water waisted to satisfy “green” yuppies! When I was a child the LA “river” was a flood control system to channel excessive rain into the ocean.

No problem with that as long as it's priced fairly, not given away to corporate farms.
