A New Potential Technology for Converting Salt Sea Water to Drinking Water

A new technology for converting Salt Sea Water into drinking water has been developed by the Acciona Corporation in Spain. The Acciona Company technology uses CO2 gas and ammonia gas to convert Salt Sea Water to Drinking Water. However, an alternate approach which is safer and more cost effective is possible. The CO2 method removes 98% of the salt from the Sea Water and leaves 2% salt in the water. Instead of using the ammonia to remove the last 2%, you can use a particulate filter which employs wrapped fiber which is a cotton/nylon blend. A large 4 foot or 6 foot diameter filter can be used in the water main line, a bypass filter line which can be switched to when it is necessary to change the other filter in the water line, and, vice versa. The filter could be cleaned of the salt by washing it in a plant with fresh water, with the salt salvaged for commercial use. In this way, the cost of converting large amounts of Salt Sea Water is relatively low, and a large volume of water can be processed with little trouble. An intake water pipe could be started with straining filters to keep fish and shrimp out, several miles out in the Sea, using an underwater pumping station, which pumps the water with an underground pipe, miles inland with little effect on the existing residential or commerical uses.

A Water Pollution Treatment Plant

I have designed a Water Pollution Treatment Plant which is used to eliminate sanitary sewer water, such as urine and feces, from sewage water before it is pumped into a river, lake, or resevior. First, you keep the storm sewer separate from the sanitary sewer. Next, you pipe/pump the sanitary sewage into a large tank. You then have an air pipe out of the top of the tank which then pumps the methane gas from the sewage into a tank, which is then used to run a natual gas engine electrical generator which produces electricity to run the plant, and even sell the excess electricity by placing it on the grid. When the first stage tank is full, you then pump the sewage through a grinder to turn it into sewage sludge. You then pump the sludge into another tank and add a bacterial agent which dissolves the urine and feces into water, which is like RidX, which is used in septic tanks on farms in rurual ares. You then pump the relatively clean water into another tank and add a small amount of sucralose to kill the fecal cholorform. You then can all flouride and reuse the water for ordinary domestic use, including drinking water, or instead you can just pump the water into a river or lake. Please note, you cannot use regular sugar in the process, as this will cause widespread diabetes in the civilian population. If you experiment with this design, it should work.
