摘要
Research into reverse osmosis (RO) desalination of brackish water has been conducted at the Environmental Technology Centre (ETC) by the Remote Area Developments-Group (RADG) since 1990. Initial research examined several renewable energy power supply options but due to portability, low maintenance and an output which matches demand, solar power was selected This has culminated in the "Solarflow" unit which is the result of a successful collaboration with industry partner G.P. and G.F. Hill Pty Ltd for engineering design and commercial production. Initial data from field trials has been favourable and indicates that further research into low-cost systems for feedwater pretreatment and prefilters is required.
