Company Overview

Desolenator is a transformative approach to water provisioning: Our world-first solar thermal desalination solution harnesses the photons of the sun to turn seawater or brackish water into high quality, pure water with zero harm to the planet.

Desolenator's Impact

Desolenator's mission is to provide real-zero water for communities and businesses through a solar-first, modular and circular climate technology.

Desolenator's Growth Strategy

According to our plans, 100% of desalinated water will be produced by a mix of clean energy that uses both renewable energy and waste heat by 2030.

Dubai are pleased to collaborate with Desolenator to pioneer this innovative approach to desalination, as part of their Public-Private Partnerships under the Dubai Future Accelerator Program.

At Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, they work in line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of the energy production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050."

Risks associated with Desolenator

High energy consumption is the main risk associated with desalination. Desolenator mitigates this risk by using reneweable energy and waste heat to operate.

Desalination is a process that produces brine, a toxic mixture of salt and other dissolved solids, which can be harmful to marine life if not properly managed.

Desolenator mitigates this risk: Integrated with Zero Liquid Discharge, this circular technology enables the production of quality water and salt where nothing goes back into our oceans: Solving the industry’s challenge of brine discharge.
