Description:

This projects aims to develop a solar desalination device that is highly energy efficient, simple and economical. In this project, a new desalination device is to be designed and built. Special emphasis is to be given to selection of the materials used. Experiments are to be carried out to study the performance of the device. Design optimization and cost analysis are to be performed for the proposed technology.

This project is sponsored by Desalter Limited.
