Saving material and energy per ton of water produced is the main target of all developments in desalination. Due to this basic attempt every of the today known technology has to prove its benefits against the established ones. Not pointing out every new technology three of them are selected and briefly described at this stage (2017).

Obviously an idea for a technology needs to develop. On the right hand side you can see an overview of different technologies. This sketch does illustrate the state of science knowledge and in the same way the state of Development, Technology and Art.

Legend: State of science knowledge values

0 Very high, 1 High, 2 Medium, 3 Low, 4 Very low

In this context DME does illustrate some of the know how build up and some of the support given so far in this field of activities preforming. In order to classify the development of a technology DME did introduce the

– Desalination Technology Development Benchmark –

also called “DesTeDeBe”. You will find more details “here (LINK)”

Some of the latest developments in technology are now benchmarked here. In order you want to know more, please get in contact with DME.
