Kira

Adaptive Water Treatment with Any Energy Source

Agriculture, Chemicals, Food and Beverage, Sustainability, Hard Tech, Clean Energy, Hardware

Desalination and water treatment equipment have historically operated with constant power, limiting the environments and applications in which they can be deployed. A new energy management and control strategy now enables desalination and water treatment systems to operate with any variable power source—including renewable energy such as solar and wind—while also accommodating grid intermittencies and price fluctuations.

By utilizing electrochemical systems and leveraging advanced modeling, optimization, and control theory, these desalination systems can serve previously inaccessible environments. Applications include concentrating produced water at decentralized oil and gas sites, desalinating brackish water for agriculture, treating drinking water in remote communities, and decarbonizing large-scale municipal and industrial plants.
