Product description
Cool Steam is a desalination technology based on a multistage vacuum distillation process taking advantage of the surplus energy from industrial processes or nature, that can effectively produce fresh water from (even highly concentrated) salted (brackish or seawater).
The technology works at low temperature and requires a very low overall temperature gradient, which makes it possible to use low grade heat sources.
Low investment costs
Low maintenance costs
Low energy requirements
Low working temperature
Use of surplus or waste heat
Slight pre-treatment required
Modular devices
High quality fresh water production
CO2 emissions reduction
