Solar-Powered Water Treatment Plants: Sustainable Purification
Solar water treatment systems by WTEYA deliver sustainable, off-grid water purification for rural, industrial, and emergency applications. Reduce carbon footprint and
The work within SHC Task 62 shows solar energy's great potential in wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, there is still the need to take further action. Using separation technologies such as membrane distillation in combination with solar process heat represents an innovative leap in the industry.
Applications in various industrial sectors for solar water treatment. One research focus area of the Task was the combination of solar thermal collectors with technologies for wastewater treatment. This work aimed to create an innovative and, above all, economically attractive solution for industry.
“I couldn't be more proud that the world's largest solar installation at a wastewater plant is happening right here at DEP's Wards Island Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility,” said DEP Commissioner Rohit T. Aggarwala. “This ambitious project underscores DEP's climate leadership by reducing emissions and advancing the City's decarbonization goals.
Because temperatures of 35°C to 40°C are required on the evaporation side of the MD plant, this application is perfectly suitable for solar energy. In addition to thermal technologies, SHC Task 62 analyzed technologies that use direct radiation (UV/VIS) in solar water decontamination and disinfection systems.
