AdVE™ – Overview
The world's need for safe, clean water is becoming increasingly urgent. AdVE™, an Advanced Vapor-Compression Evaporation technology, desalinates brackish and salt water with a low-cost, high-capacity process, and a high-efficiency compressor and non-fouling heat exchangers.
The technology operates at higher pressures and temperatures than traditional reverse osmosis (RO) and mechanical vapor-compression desalination technologies, thus making it significantly less expensive to build and operate.
