H20TxTM Revolutionary New Water Processing Technology.
One of the technologies involves evaporating and condensing sea / brackish water using the thermal differential between the two water types (ice/slush and steam) to power the process. Testing shows that it has the potential to be 10 times more efficient than existing water desalination technologies.
The second water processing technology has the potential to not only desalinate water with very low processing energy but also to isolate very low concentrations of rare earth metals from aquifer water/ seawater at very cost effective levels.
The third method that is solar powered has passed the Middle Eastern desalination research centres testing and has been shown to be able to operate autonomously for over six months without any external input. The systems are not just water distillers / desalinators, they have the ability to be used to; produce electricity, power a steam turbine to create mechanical energy, heat / cook food, sterilise objects, chill and freeze foods & produce salt. The efficiency of the units could be significantly increased when in large scale operation and production. Although the solar desalinator that has been tested in MEDRC is ideal for countries with high levels of annual sunshine and low cost land, the other two technologies are essential for countries with low annual sunshine and/or high land costs.
3.1 H20TxTM Is A Revolutionary New Water Processing Technology That Enables;
Water desalination and purification.
Mineral extraction from aquifers and mining.
Industrial waste water decontamination.
Industrial distillation.
Land Development.
Power generation (IWPP).
3.2 H20TxTM Is The Worlds Most Profitable Desalination Technology:
One litre of H20TxTM pure water will sell to a mineral company bottling plant for over U$0.10 per litre.
The pure sea salt obtained is 35-50 kgs per ton, with a kg sales price of U$0.50/kg.
The sale of the above commodities enables the profitable operation of the H20TxTM desalination plants even if 90% of the water is provided to a municipality for free.
3.3 H20TxTM is The World’s Most Environmentally Friendly Water Processing Technology Because:
Eliminates brine discharge thus eliminating the massive environmental destruction being done by existing desalination systems to coastal regions.
Can be retrofitted into existing desalination plant infrastructure, whilst virtually eliminating the environmental damage they are doing through carbon and pollutant emissions from burning hydrocarbons and the emission of millions of cubic meters of brine into coastal areas.
Replenish sub-surface aquifers and lakes/seas below sea level.
Poverty alleviation; water produced using the H20TxTM machine in tropical countries can be used to irrigate arid lands on a sustainable basis.
There is a solid scientific case that drinking distilled water is far better for the human body than potable water produced by other methods as it removes traces of infection and all harmful salts.
3.4 Other Major H20TxTM Advantages Include;
The minimal energy requirement of H20TxTM will enable existing desalination plants to sell their surplus energy output to other users. Hydrocarbon producing States can sell the hydrocarbons rather than use them to desalinate water.
Land development; the ability to provide a cheap, abundant, sustainable supply of fresh water will greatly increase the value of residential, tourist, commercial and industrial land.
Political; mass public appeal through alleviation of poverty and increase in socio-economic conditions combined with a reduction of local and regional conflicts through a greatly increased availability of water.
Eligible for offset credits.
Eligible for carbon credits.
3.5 Competing Technologies
Desalination is a multi-billion dollar market and the key MSF & RO technologies are well financed by multi-national organisations and governments. The competing technologies are flash distillation that involves heat water to 75ºC+ or reverse osmosis membranes that, under high pressure, filter out the salt. Both technologies require high capital expenditure and high-energy inputs and produce a low value output.
