MS-DeSal

MS-DeSal Image

High-Efficiency, Zero-Waste Molten Salt Desalination

At ONB Engineering, we’re developing MS-DeSal, an advanced solar-driven desalination technology using molten salt and a unique bubble-column process. Designed for maximum efficiency, MS-DeSal converts seawater and brine into freshwater with minimal waste and environmental impact. Unlike traditional methods like reverse osmosis, our system harnesses solar thermal energy and molten salts for a sustainable and scalable solution.

Key Features:

  • Solar-Powered Efficiency: Uses molten salts for continuous operation, even in low sunlight.
  • Innovative Desalination Process: Vaporizes seawater in an intensified medium, reducing brine waste by up to 40%.
  • Affordable & Scalable: Competitive production costs for small to large-scale applications.
  • Eco-Friendly: Eliminates fossil fuel reliance and minimizes brine waste, supporting global carbon reduction.

MS-DeSal redefines desalination by integrating renewable solar energy with molten salt technology, providing a zero-waste, cost-effective solution for water-scarce regions, especially in the Sunbelt.
