The effectiveness of CaviGulation technology is 1000-fold over conventional systems and allows the complete elimination of all micro-organisms (including spores), viruses and protozoa.
The first actual practice of desalination involved collecting the freshwater steam from boiling saltwater. The energy required for this type of process today makes it prohibitively expensive on a large scale. In the last decade, seawater reverse-osmosis has matured into a viable alternative to thermal desalination. But even with membranes, large amounts of energy are required to generate the high pressure that forces the water through the filter.
Maintenance costs, addition of additives to prevent periodic buildup and replacement of the fouling membranes are the biggest challenge facing desalination.
To produce 1,000 gallons of desalinated seawater it can cost around $4. Our goal is to cut this cost in half.
CaviGulation is company’s proprietary process and is scalable to virtually any size. The company feels it could be a solution for the desalination process utilizing membranes.
Currently, between 10 and 13 billion gallons of water are desalinated worldwide per day. That’s only about 0.2% of global water consumption, but the number is drastically increasing, the demand is rising and the problem needs immediate attention on a large scale while being cost effective at the same time.
