Water is Life. And, Life is Water and Agriculture.
Not All Water Is The Equal / Same When You Travel. We Take It Much For Granted.
Travel Tip! Consider Google Search Where The Local Tap Water Flows From The Source. Could Have High Dissolved Solids, Minerals, and Unknown Contents.
Travel Tip! Good To Bring Along Pur Brand Cartridge Filter & Big Pitcher. Fill Your Water Bottles. Bring Along Portable Electric Kettle Too Boil If Need To. Filter and/or Boil For Drinking. All Else Can Just Use Local Tap.
Solar Stills: Breakthrough Enhancements.
DIY Portable RO Water Desalination Test Setup:
Two Primary Methods For City-Scale Water Desalination Plants.
(1) High-Volume High-Speed Plants Use Reverse Osmosis. RO Cartridge Filters and High Pressure Pumps.
(2) Other Plants Use Large-Scale Heat Distillation and Flash Evaporators.
Before RO Filters or Distillation, Do Pre-Treat Salt Water Intake First With Course Steel Strainer, Next Sand-Gravel Gravity Box Filter, and Last Course Cartridge Filter. Then Actual Desalination.
How Reverse Osmosis (RO) Works. How Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes Are Made.
Seawater Desalination Process.
The Carlsbad Plant Produces 50 MGD or Roughly 190,000 Cubic Meters per Day.
There Are Two Primary Methods For City-Scale Water Desalination Plants.
Reverse Osmosis. And, Large-Scale Heat Distillation.
Also A DIY Portable RO Systems Test Setup In Garage.
Now, For Portable or DIY Small-Scale Method.
Low-Volume Low-Speed Solar Stills. They Trap Solar Heat To Evaporate and Condense Distill Water. Output is ~ 1 Liter * M^2 per Hr. With System Ehancements, My Guess The Output Could Be 3 Liters * M^2 per Hr. Not Space Efficient. Pushing Near 1 Gallon Output for every 3ft x 3ft Solar Still area, in every Hour.
Solar Stills Breakthrough Enhancements:
And, Between Large-Scale and Small-Scale Water Desalination.
There Is Moderate-Scale Shipping Container Size Multiple-Effect Evaporators. Or, MEE Desalination. Consider Combining It With Concentrated Solar Power CSP To Heat The Salt Water Before Input Into The MEE Desalination. ;).
Multiple Effect Evaporators - Introduction.
The Lower The Pressure, Lower The Boiling Temperature.
