Dewa and Dutch start-up Desolenator to build solar-powered desalination system
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Case Studies
The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has signed a partnership agreement with Dutch start-up Desolenator to build a carbon-neutral water purification and desalination system that is completely powered by solar energy.
The cost-efficient system is estimated to produce potable water at less than $0.02 per litre, the Dubai utility said on Tuesday.
It said the companies had already installed a pilot plant at the Jebel Ali power plant and desalination complex, which has a minimum production capacity of 1,000 litres per day.

What about the COP?

It is a good start.
May I Know the invested capital?
The Daily production capacity?
The Expected ROI?
The Expected Capital recovery period?

0.02 dollar per liter is 20 dollar per m3. So in fact this is very expensive!!! Reverse osmosis produces fresh water from seawater for about 1 dollar per m3. Only powered by PV-panels it is a bit more expensive (1-3 dollar/m3 depending on the circumstances and size). But 20 dollar/m3 is really expensive!

I am interested to know more about Dutch start up desolenator.Is there any contacts.
