Waste water treatment and Water resources management

Country:
Israel
Maturity:

Lesico CleanTech is a pioneer in delivering sustainable technologies which recycle or minimize the volume of liquid waste primarily desalination rejected brine. The solutions not only help users comply with stringent regulation but result in substantial savings in real estate installation and operational costs. While clean water technology development and commercialization is our main function it is also a key to addressing the needs of our clients who seek cost effective sustainable brine discharge solutions which comply with ever growing stringent regulation aimed to prevent contamination of water resources. We also provide our clients with specialized advisory services for implementing the value-added solutions. General description: WAIV- Wind Aided Intensified eVaporation: WAIV is a state-of-the-art enhanced evaporation technology operated by the wetting of evaporation surfaces mounted on suitably constructed modules. The device uses the driving power of the wind which drives away excess humidity from the surfaces to intensify the evaporation process by a magnitude of 15-20 times more than a traditional evaporation pond. Unique value proposition of WAIV: The WAIV serves as a cost effective alternative to brine disposal methods such as evaporation ponds and brine concentrators with a drastically reduced footprint (uses only 10% of the size of the land required for evaporation pond) using wind instead of heat from fossil fuel. WAIV also saves on energy costs by using less petroleum based raw material like Liner used in evaporation ponds to prevent leakage. Overall solving the brine disposal problem promotes brackish water over seawater desalination and saves energy because brackish water uses less energy than seawater and also less energy because brackish water can be desalinated where needed at inland sites without depending on energy consuming distribution network. Function of the product(s): The WAIV uses only 10% of the size of the land required for evaporation pond using wind instead of heat from fossil fuel and also saves on energy costs by using less petroleum based raw material like Liner used in evaporation ponds to prevent leakage.

Benefits:

The technology enables liquid waste minimization by enhanced evaporation and a cost effective high recovery desalination process with an innovative electrodialysis membrane stack. The products and services are designed to reduce significantly the acquisition and operation costs of inland liquid discharge installations and optimize the use of natural resources and provide significant reduction in footprint. .in footprint; Proven record of commercial use
