Renewable Energy for Desalination using Reverse Osmosis

What is a perspective?

Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

This paper presents a proposal for fulfilling the energy demands of small desalination facilities in remote areas by using a combination of renewable energies. The integrated system consists of photovoltaic modules as well as a wind turbine, diesel generator, battery bank for energy storage and a reverse osmosis desalinisation unit.
