Freshwater Production via Desalination

Coastal India holds the largest peninsular shoreline in South Asia yet remains chronically water-stressed. We are developing modular reverse-osmosis systems that operate on hybrid solar-thermal energy.

Our approach

How we work on desalination.

AI-optimised reverse osmosis with multi-stage flash recovery, driven by hybrid solar-thermal input. Membrane pressure, recovery ratio, and pre-treatment dosing are continuously tuned using a salinity-aware control loop.
