These units, named Krystall, combine exclusive membrane technology with photovoltaic panels to achieve green solution for drinking water shortages, the company said. Powered by solar energy, each unit is capable of converting 100,000 liters of brackish water and 50,000 liters of seawater per day into quality drinking water.
According to the company, this breakthrough is possible with the use of a patented membrane technology that relies on a series of circular membrane plates. This proprietary method minimizes pressure on the pumps and membranes, thus requiring less energy and allowing the unit to operate solely using solar power.
Michel Gruering, president of SwissINSO, said: “We’re very pleased to have our unit up and running here so its capabilities can be witnessed first-hand. We have developed a mobile, self-sufficient, renewable-energy solution to one of the world’s most pressing problems – access to clean drinking water. We’re excited to be bringing this solution to market and are looking forward to the launch event on April 22nd.”
