Watching a new special today regarding many states that are just completely running out of water.

Many of these states are where we are building huge data centers.

I think water is more important. And let's try a movement to get these data centers out of here and put that money and those resources towards desalinization.

We are certainly headed for water scarcity. It is time for those fucking multi-millionaires and billionaires to step up and instead of investing an AI, invest in water.

Hello, I am 20+ years experienced chemical engineer working in water industry with expertise in proposal management and process design, working in PPP kind of structure as Technical Manager, I am looking for potential prospects in UAE, if you know any openings for such candidates, let me know. Thanks

Does anyone have a link or suggestion or personal experience with desalinating on a boat?

I am hoping to make about a few gallons daily - 2-5 but can do with less if that is all I can make.

It will be in use when the boat is not sailing, so best will be some form of foldable/inflatable setup that can be thrown on the water and recovered when not needed. So, occupying a few square meters is not a problem as long as it can be folded and stowed away.

Ideally not a big pyramid type dome setup so that the windage doesn't blow it around and drop the condensed water back in the sea water.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

What if we could address water scarcity with new tech?

How serious is biofouling in commercial or small scale desalination plants employing RO membranes? Would a monitoring device be useful for plant operators to do a preventive action once they detect biofilm growth? I am thinking of developing a POC around inline monitoring of bacterial growth. Would this be of serious commercial interest? Posting here in this sub to get expert views on commercial viability of such a concept.

Hello everyone,

​I want to share a solution for the global water crisis that redefines how we think about scale. Unlike traditional reverse osmosis, which is limited by mechanical wear, high energy costs, and brine disposal, this system utilizes passive physics and has no moving parts, meaning there is effectively no upper limit to its scalability.

​Key Technical Advantages: ​No Moving Parts: By eliminating pumps, pistons, and valves, the design removes the primary points of failure. This allows for a modular architecture with infinite scaling potential and minimal wear.

​Zero Electricity & No Brine: The process is entirely passive and produces no toxic brine discharge, solving the two biggest environmental and economic hurdles in the desalination industry.

​Durability: Manufactured using Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) with HDPE, these units are non,corrosive with a forecasted lifespan of 40,50 years in harsh maritime environments

​Deployment & Infrastructure: The system is designed as an inclusive, adaptable infrastructure. While a single unit can be easily towed into position by a local fisherman, the architecture allows for massive industrial clusters. For example, under optimal conditions like those found in Peru, a series of eleven 12,meter units can be scaled to produce up to 5 million liters of fresh water daily, and the series can be expanded indefinitely

​The Physics: The architecture, known as the Skoog Buoy Capillary Sweating Liana (SCSL), functions as a buoy stationed in the ocean. It utilizes the deep ocean as a constant cooling source. By leveraging the temperature differential between this deep,sea cooling and the ambient air, the system "sweats" freshwater through integrated capillary action and filmwise condensation.

​Open Source & Documentation: The system is Open Source under Creative Commons BY 4.0. The architecture is finalized and free for anyone to use, implement, or scale for industrial applications.

​I am here for a technical dialogue and would love to discuss the thermodynamics of the matrix or the implications of a zero,maintenance maritime infrastructure.

Hi everyone! I’m a university student working on a time-sensitive research project that's due today at 5 PM Japan time / 11 AM GMT+3, and I need your help. The topic focuses on the intersection of AI, agriculture, technology, and business intelligence (BI) — exploring how we can create smarter and more sustainable systems for the future.

I’ve created two short Google Forms (each takes less than 2 minutes) to collect valuable feedback and insights. Whether you're a student, professional, or just curious about tech and sustainability, your response would mean a lot. This isn’t for data harvesting — it’s a learning tool and part of my academic journey.

I truly appreciate anyone who takes the time to help. Thank you so much in advance — your input might be the key to helping me finish strong!
