Intelligent plant for clean thermal desalination of seawater and brackish water for the generation of drinking water

Abstract

The present invention contributes to the field of seawater and brackish groundwater desalination through the development of a smart, innovative, and sustainable solution enabling improved technology for drinking water production. This technology relates to a clean thermal desalination process using phase change. The system is designed to extract and desalinate a significant flow of seawater and brackish groundwater in an eco-efficient manner. It combines efficient desalination technologies with an intelligent energy management and real-time monitoring system, optimized by advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. It utilizes renewable energy sources (solar, wind, or other) to minimize its carbon footprint. It employs a modular design allowing for long-term use with a reduced environmental impact. It uses sustainable technologies and appropriate techniques for reducing and collecting saline discharges to preserve the local ecosystem and prevent soil degradation. The AI-based system adjusts desalination parameters according to water characteristics and climatic conditions, as gathered from integrated sensors to monitor water quality, salinity, and flow rate in real time. It improves water quality through automatic adjustment of filtration parameters. This intelligent system can operate autonomously by being placed near the sea or can be integrated with an existing well water pumping system. This invention represents a sustainable solution to the problem of access to drinking water in arid regions or those with limited water resources, while simultaneously protecting the environment.
