In cooperation with Moerk Water, EMPO-NI has developed the drive of this system, which is now operated exclusively with Solar Energie and does not require a battery.

This plant produces up to 100 litres per hour of safe, clean, drinkable water from salty sea water. The feed water is pumped directly from the ocean or beach well into the unit where it goes through a pre-filtration process before the high-pressure pump provides the pressure necessary to perform the reverse osmosis process (50 – 60 bar).
The plant requires approximately 2200W of energy to operate at maximum efficiency.  The kit will typically include 10 solar panels with an installed power of approximately 3500W. This should be sufficient for 5-8 hours of operation, producing 500 – 800 litres of clean water per day:  to manage the basic water related needs (i.e. drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene) of a small community. We recommend that larger communities have several strategically located machines throughout the village.
