Seawater desalination

  • Technology

    The patented technology provides for the removal of toxic cyanide from wastewater without the need for the addition of chemicals while producing no secondary sludge that would require further handling prior to disposal. Heavy metal removal is achieved in a similar manner through inducing sedimentation.

  • Nirosoft develops tailormade systems which reliably deliver high quality water to densely populated areas remote communities and complex industrial sites. Nirosoft supplies water wherever it is needed -- such as deploying emergency mobile water treatment units in disaster areas treating and reusing wastewater using desalination to reliably supply potable water and producing demineralized water for industry. The company offers a complete turnkey solution -- from design and manufacture to commissioning and aftersales service.

    Conditional Adaptation Targets 1. By 2025, increase seawater desalination capacity by 50% above 2015 levels.
    2. By 2030, all buildings are improved and prepared for extreme climate events, including drought, flooding and hurricanes.
    3. By 2030, 100% of electricity demand in the water sector(1) and other essential services (including health, food storage and emergency services) will be met through off-grid renewable sources.
    4. By 2030, all waterways are protected to reduce the risks of flooding and health impacts.
