High Pressure Desalination Process Used At Large Scale by Indian Company
IVRCL, a company from India, has finished a high-tech desalination plant in the city of Madras. According to officials, this plant is the biggest in South Asia, using seawater to generate 100 million liters of potable water a day for the city's seven million residents. They also said it will supply 1,000 liters of drinking water for just over $1.
Water Desalination Plants Powered by Renewable Energy
Due to the freshwater crisis from places like Dubai and Australia, inventors around the world have started looking for ways to convert seawater and make it potable. Most of these desalination plants require a huge amount of energy, being powered from non-renewable sources.
