SubsidieMeestersRealEase constraints of desalination
RealEase aims to develop cost-effective and sustainable desalination solutions using innovative nanofluidic transport to purify saltwater with low electric fields and simpler equipment.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Access to drinking water is one of the major issues of this century. Saltwater resources could constitute an almost infinite source of drinking water, but their desalination remains expensive and technically challenging, thus limiting its deployment.
Project Overview
RealEase aims to develop easily deployable, cost-effective, and more sustainable desalination solutions to preserve water resources.
Innovative Technology
This project relies on innovative technology developed at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS Paris) and proposes to offer a novel and promising desalination solution.
Methodology
Unlike traditional desalination methods, which require the application of extremely high pressures (which can exceed 60 bars, equivalent to the pressure under a 600m dam), our approach exploits unconventional nanofluidic transport phenomena to purify water through commercial desalination filters, using only low electric fields.
Benefits
This allows desalination with:
- Less demanding equipment
- Less expensive solutions
- Safer operations for operators
