Mincarb has committed to a 4 year research program to develop efficient and innovative ways to deploy electrochemical desalination systems for applications that are identified as important to the long term productivity of Australia. Such areas include the use of electrochemical desalination to treat groundwater in remote communities of NT and WA, treatment of brackish water for agricultural use and efficient use of photovoltaic solar energy to drive desalination processes.
