Solar MED Desalinator

With the SIC hybrid technology is possible to use the thermal energy to turn potable the sea water anywhere.

The MED evaporative desalination plant designed by SIC is completely autonomous and powered exclusively by solar energy. Furthermore, the electrical power produced allows the system to work in self-consumption and to supply energy to nearby structures.

Which are the benefits of a solar powered desalination plant equipped by SIC hybrid technology?

  • Just one system to have the double energy production (electrical and thermal)
  • Small size plant
  • Zero polluting emissions
  • Reduced installation, maintenance and operating costs

But how does a MED solar desalinator work?


Here is explained, in a few points, the basic function of a MED type solar energy desalinator (MED, Multi-Effect Distillation):

  • The salt water is taken from the sea through special filtering and pre-treatment systems;
  • The salt water is nebulized inside special multi-effect vacuum evaporative chambers, where it evaporates by absorbing heat from the hot fluid coming from the panels;
  • The vapor is sent into the condenser, where it becomes pure distilled water;
  • Distilled water goes to a post-treatment and enrichment process, where it is transformed into fresh drinking water.
