Aero-Desalinator

The Aero-desalination system consists of six modules: a pre-installed windmill, a concrete tank for storage of untreated water, dual Pre-Filters, wind pumping module, reverse-osmosis chamber, and the drinking water storage tank.

The system operates by pumping the saline or brackish water from the standard well which is hooked up to a pre-installed windmill. The pumped water from the well is then stored in a concrete storage tank which is designed for a certain height for gravity to do the job. The water from the tank is then allowed to flow through a dual pre-filter previously doped with nano-technological copper and silver ions to stop the incursion of suspended particles, algae, molds, fungi, or bacteria. Further on, the water is allowed to pass the reverse osmosis membrane through a pipe or tank regulating flow and pressure of cross flows where the permeate is stored in another freshwater tank of 2,000 L capacity and the concentrate is sent to a separate reservoir where the water eventually evaporates.

Some of the details of the Aero-Desalinator are as follows:

• Pump used: piston-check design which allows a double suction and drive effect more efficient.
• Membrane: SW30HRLE-4040
• Active membrane area: 7.9 m²
• Permeate flow rate: 6.1 m³/day
• Minimum % of salt rejection: 99.6 %

There is no technical support provided and users are expected to maintain the product on their own with the help of training or pictorials provided by the manufactures at the time of project implementation.

The average lifecycle for this product is 20 years; if handled with care the system can last much longer up to 30 years.
