Research abstract

Katz Water Technologies will use solar desalination to provide sustainable sources of purified water.  This water can meet the DOD mission needs for drinking, training, weapons testing, fire suppression, and sanitation. The technology is a patented heat exchanger which can perform the entire water purification process within one small, modular, and inexpensive piece of equipment. Using exclusively solar power, remote forward deployments would have access to freshwater in areas without reliable power or thermal energy source. The system is designed to be easily transported by standard military vehicles and could be deployed anywhere with a previously unusable water source like seawater, contaminated lakes, and streams, or compromised well water.
