Antoine GOURDON
3mw

2. Innovation under development
demonstration
industrialization
Commercial launch
Business model : technology licensing &/or OEM provider
Targetted applications : 0.1 – m3/day
Small & middle fresh water production
Demineralised industrial water

4. System Flow-sheet

5. « multiple-effect drying & condensation » main advantages
No boiling + Atmospheric pressure
plastic material & no corrosion
One pass process, vertical & gravity flow
short residence time & minimal energy

7. Focus on energy & carbon
Power < 0,2 kWh/m3
Heat = 90-95°C supplied by solar thermal / exhaust gas / steam / water…
GOR 5:1 – 20:1
solar powered system (zero carbon) :
(insulation = 6 kWh/day)
1m2
l/day

8. On-going projects
2 plant ready for on site demonstration starting in Octobre 2009 :
Industrial application : demineralized water
Fresh water for small communities : life-basis, hotel, dispensary, workhouse…
Energy Feed : Solar &/or recovery heat from industry
2 projects filed on MSP – 1 project with an NGO
