1st operation with the PV system for one hour!

On Saturday after the long "running" procedure powered by grid, we connected the system with the PVs! It was around 17:00 and it worked perfect, with no a lot of fluctuations until 18:00. 

desalination with PV!
no grid, only sun!
First water from the sun!



Feed flow = 5gpm
Permeate flow = 1 gpm
Membrane pressure= 55 bar
ΔP at prefilter = 1 bar
Permeate conductivity = 1200 μS/cm corresponding to 780.96 mg/l.


The permeate quality is an issue we have to deal with today.



At 18:00 the irradiation fell abruptly because of heavy clouds, and then we had to stop the system. 

Today we are starting operation with PVs and see how it will go!
