Technology turns dirty water into clean water in Israel

Israeli scientists have just developed a new technology based on solar energy to distill clean water.

Water scarcity and water pollution are two of the world's most pressing issues, especially in developing countries, where infrastructure and resources are limited. Recently, Israeli scientists have developed a new technology based on solar energy to distill clean water, which could pave the way for a long-term solution to this problem.

An Israeli company is hoping its solar water distillation system will be able to help solve the two most pressing problems of the world today - water scarcity and water pollution.

A sample of water is taken from the desert near the Dead Sea, where water resources are increasingly contaminated and salty. And they turned that water into drinkable water.

Dr. Ronald Silver, co-founder of SunDwater, Israel, said: "We feel we have a revolutionary invention that can change the world. Our solution is entirely By clean energy, without infrastructure, used by solar energy and with our exclusive design to distillate, pure water can be produced with a volume of water so far with Other systems have never been achieved '.

The inventors also said this system works extremely simple and does not need maintenance, regular maintenance, so it is very convenient and cost-effective. Contaminated or salty water is pumped into a distillation machine and with a photovoltaic disc concentrating the sun's rays, the water is heated and evaporated quickly. The steam then condenses and flows into a container into clean water. It is worth mentioning that this device can distill 400 liters of clean water every day.

Professor Avner Adin, a water technologist at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said: "The first important thing is that this system can be used in remote, remote areas, in small villages of developing countries. developed, can be used for agricultural production where there is no clean water ".

But the inventors still don't want to stop here. They are ambitious to work out a more advanced version that can produce a larger amount of clean water.

In Vietnam, there are also projects that use solar energy to distill salt water into fresh water, recorded. The most specific is the topic 'Design of household-scale freshwater distillation equipment for coastal people' by two students Nguyen Ngoc Anh and Pham Duy Linh of Can Tho University who won the first prize in Holcim competition. The Prize in 2011. However, this device is only capable of distilling 90 to 150 liters of water a day.
