Island sea water desalination plant sub-divided for discrete operation of each stage using only limited wind-generated power

摘要

A sea water desalination and multi-stage reverse osmosis (19) unit is powered by electrical energy supplied by a wind generator. Each stage of the process is sub-divided and separable from the preceding process or stage, such that in times of low wind and power shortage, the desalination and osmosis (16) proceed in discrete steps matched to the available power supply (5).
