A New Renewable Energy desal. Paradigm.
We are working with several architectures that are energy source agnostic. Wind, Solar CST, Gas etc., that can reduce the fuel needed for desalination by 60% or more. My company Altresco, Texas Tech University, and associated companies have created a semi proprietary method of integrating known technologies to achieve the highest possible capacity factor, continuous desalination for the lowest long term levelized cost of desalinated water available today. By a decent margin. Our barrier has been that because our system is innovative and crosses over several core competencies, it does not fit it any of the boxes people try to fit it in. It also exceeds the training of the high expertise extremely well qualified and brilliant minds in most camps today. The specificity of their learning has made it much harder to see the whole landscape. My position is that they are all right, if we can work together.
The reason I used the phrase semi proprietary, is because, once it's understood by someone more interested in freshwater than selling machinery, it is like finding your sunglasses on top of your head after hours of looking. I am in discussions with several investment groups and will select two that demonstrate that their primary interest is fresh water at affordable prices, rather than "How much pain will they endure."
I'm just a common man, but my life of solving problems considered impossible has taken me through a very large amount of learning.
