They say if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We get this a lot. Savings as substantial as 70% can raise eyebrows and perhaps even suspicion. How can you be sure amidst a sea of remarkable advancements that may be claimed online?

In all honesty, we use 70% less energy for desalination.
And as a bonus, we also don’t use chemicals.
Plus, we throw in one free year of support. 

We have reached a remarkable number of 30 countries to date, where our desalination solutions are deployed. From enabling life in the desert for plants in Africa to running exclusive operations in the Caribbean, you will find it all in this exciting update.

Namibia is an arid country regularly afflicted by droughts. Jojoba for Namibia Trust was founded to support women in dry desert areas to build up their own jojoba plantations and harvesting centres and become a part of the whole value chain. However, access to fresh water was a limiting factor in its impact.

Energy costs are the largest contributor to the lifecycle cost of a desalination project. Reverse Osmosis is energy-intensive on a small-scale application. Standard desalination solutions between 5-150 m³/day require 10 kWh/m³.

We use unique energy recovery technology to reduce the required energy by 70%, running the desalination unit on 2,7 kWh/m³. By re-using the pressurized salt water that otherwise goes to waste, we reduce the required auxiliary energy with energy recovery.

We commissioned several desalination projects for resorts & villas in the Caribbean, including the Greater Antilles and the Leeward Antilles:
