Desalination
Self-Powered Desalination for Global Water Access
- Built To Order
- Production Ready
Automatski has reimagined desalination by engineering a novel, self-sustaining turbine capable of removing salt from seawater without relying on electricity, solar, or any external energy source. By eliminating the high-pressure, high-cost requirements of conventional systems, this breakthrough makes freshwater access viable anywhere—from remote communities to industrial-scale applications.
Fresh Water, Without the Energy Burden
Water covers over 70% of the planet, yet much of it is undrinkable due to high salt content. Desalination—removing dissolved salts from seawater—is a widely used method to produce freshwater for human and agricultural use. However, conventional desalination methods, especially Reverse Osmosis (RO), require pressures of ~70 atmospheres, leading to massive energy consumption and high operating costs.
The Problem
Conventional reverse osmosis systems require external energy sources—electricity, diesel, or solar—to generate the pressure needed for salt separation. This limits their scalability, affordability, and accessibility in remote or under-resourced areas.
The Breakthrough
Automatski has developed a novel turbine system capable of driving the desalination process without any external energy input—no electricity, no fuel, not even solar. This breakthrough enables both small-scale and industrial-scale desalination that is energy-independent and ultra-efficient.
Technology Behind It
- Osmosis: The natural movement of solvent through a selectively permeable membrane from low to high solute concentration.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO): Applying pressure greater than the osmotic pressure to reverse the flow, separating pure water from saline water.
Automatski’s innovation lies not in the membranes, but in the energy source: a self-powered turbine capable of generating the necessary pressure autonomously.
Applications
- Off-grid freshwater generation
- Disaster relief and emergency deployment
- Coastal and island communities
- Scalable industrial desalination
