  1. Desalination Demonstration Welcomes You To:

  2. What is Desalination? • Refers to any of several processes that remove some amount of salt andother minerals from water. • Water is desalinated in order to convert salt water to fresh water so it is suitable for human consumption or irrigation. 

  3. Large Scale Desalination “The world's largest desalination plant is the Jebel Ali Desalination Plant (Phase 2) in the United Arab Emirates. It is a dual-purpose facility that uses multi-stage flash distillation and is capable of producing 300 million cubic metres of water per year.”(Approximately 80 Billon Gallons)

  4. Our Design • This project is a Senior Design Project for the College of Engineering • The goal was to design a system, using renewable energies, that would desalinate enough water for one person. • The system uses only solar energy to desalinate the water

  5. Input Water The hot water evaporates, leaving the salt behind Flows Through the Still Where it gets heated and flows back into the Still The water forms droplets, then flows down the glass into a collection trough And clean water flows into the portable container Into the CPC

  6.
