SOLAR-POWERED REVERSE OSMOSIS DESALINATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a solar-powered reverse osmosis desalination system which is used to convert seawater into drinking water and which uses energy obtained with a photovoltaic solar system. According to the invention, the system extends the useful life of the reverse osmosis membranes, automatically adapts the operating time of the plant to the solar radiation available at the location and monitors the charge/discharge cycles of the batteries used in the photovoltaic solar system. The inventive system also comprises a cleaning circuit containing a cleaning pump (9) which removes the brine from the membrane tubes of the reverse osmosis module (7) at the end of each workday. The invention further comprises a control automaton which is used to manage the plant starting/stopping process.
