Lagos Desalination Technology - Executive Summary - ek
1. Lagos Desalination Technology
Salt Water to Drinking Water
From ocean salt water to fresh drinking water
without chemicals and electricity
Water isa valuable resource and should be treated and used wisely to promote
global sustainability.
It is estimated that approximately 97% of the water on earth is on oceans which
leaves only 3% of possibly available fresh water for humans, animals and
plants. However, with about 2% of that fresh water resources stored in glaciers
and icecaps, only 1% of fresh water remains available for the water supply of
an ever increasing population.
Our goal is to provide solutions which will transform salted sea
water into drinkable fresh water quickly, efficiently and
economically.
Lagos Desalination Loop System
NATURAL PLANATERY METAL MINERAL SALT SEPERATION SYSTEM
Gravity Flow Mineral Method Desalination System for the conversion of sea water to fresh
drinking water which requires little or no energy. Only energy needed is to deliver the sea
water to the infeed of the system or it can be manually fed.
After the salt water enters the loop system, the natural forces or gravity draw the water
through two phases.
First, proprietary blend of Mineral Compounds contained in each clarifier tank reduces
salinity and mineral content of the sea water in a continuous gravity flow.
The Mineral Compounds are mixtures of minerals and herbs without any chemicals,
therefore completely non-toxic.
Second, water is treated, destroying any bacteria, virus, pathogens or funguses that may be
contained in the in-feed water. It is disinfected naturally and organically.
2. The final stage delivers clean drinking water with a salinity of less than 500 ppm at 7.0 to 7.5
pH.
Proposed Gravity Desalination Plant would be cement constructed and use PVC piping in
order to eliminate corrosion from salts and atmosphere. The size of the plant is dependent on
the fresh water requirements.
