Pump Uses Less Energy to Desalinate Water
A San Leandro company has developed an ingenious pump that greatly reduces the energy needed to extract salt from seawater, a small but vital innovation that could help transform ocean water into something fit to drink.
Editorial

Pumps have been powered by water flow, internal combustion engines, electric motors, manually or by wind power. Solar power has also been used to power electric motors in remote locations.

`Optimizing Pumping Systems: A Guide to Improved Efficiency, Reliability, and Profitability` will soon be available, courtesy of Pump Systems Matter and the Hydraulic Institute. Scheduled to debut in mid-August, the new reference is the most definitive guidebook to date on how to optimize pumping systems for maximum energy efficiency. Featuring crisp graphics, illustrations, and reference tables, the new guide covers a wide range of topics.

Featured White Paper
Solar Assisted Heat Pump Desalination System
Author     :  M.N.A. Hawlader, Ph D, CPEng
Company :  National University of Singapore
It has been found from the analysis that the heat pump assisted desalination unit can either be designed as a small scale mobile unit to be used in disaster areas, or scaled up in size to produce potable water for cities at a cost competitive with reverse osmosis and electrodialysis technologies.
