Chapter 46 Desalination Technology

Desalination technology with almost negligible energy consumption means something.

The seawater desalination equipment newly developed and put into mass production by Umbrella is such an artifact. Its core technology is the [SW-8040-HO-3208 reverse osmosis membrane] exclusively developed by the company. The consumption is one-thirtieth of that of ordinary reverse osmosis membranes, and it has greater advantages than other types of seawater desalination technologies.

After testing, one Umbrella seawater desalination equipment can produce 220 tons of fresh water, and only needs [-] kWh of electricity!

And the fresh water produced is almost pure water, far exceeding the standard of ordinary drinking water!

This power consumption is completely negligible!
The by-product bittern obtained from seawater desalination can already offset this power consumption component.

In other words, if the cost of equipment and maintenance costs are not considered, fresh water can be produced in unlimited quantities for free, and even earn money.

……

Roger Andre took an evaluation report, found He Xiao excitedly, and reported to him.

He Xiao remained calm as always, as if he knew the result long ago.

Roger André could not help feeling a little ashamed that he should be so impatient in his old age.

However, he is very clear that the seawater desalination equipment developed by the company this time will cause a great sensation in the world, and it is also an excellent opportunity for Umbrella Technology to make a name for itself!
"Your Excellency, due to the successful development of [SW-8040-HO-3208 reverse osmosis membrane] in the early stage, it caused quite a stir and made us famous, so this time our product launch was very successful, and the evaluation results were also very good. It has proved that our equipment has unparalleled advantages, and we have placed advertisements in major countries, and I believe that orders will come in like snowflakes soon!" Roger Andre said as calmly as possible.

"You guys did a good job." He Xiao praised.

"The main thing is that you have a good vision. This research direction was formulated by you. If it weren't for this, our research team would definitely not be able to succeed so quickly." Roger Andre said.

"How's the progress in OEM production?" He Xiao asked casually again.

Umbrella's current factory is not enough to mass-produce equipment. Anyway, the core technology of this equipment is [SW-8040-HO-3208 reverse osmosis membrane]. You just need to control this production in your own hands.

He didn't really care much, because he was sure Roger Andre would be able to arrange it.

"We have already signed an agreement with seven equipment factories in Dongguo. They guarantee that as long as we need it, they can meet any of our production needs. Of course, I know very well that this is impossible. They underestimated our needs." Luo Jay Andre said.

"Then what do you think are the main market applications of Umbrella desalination equipment?" He Xiao asked again.

"We have made a special research and analysis report in this regard, and have sent you a copy. Didn't you read it?" Roger Andre said with some surprise.

"...I saw it, I just want to discuss it again." He Xiao said calmly.

"According to our research and analysis, first of all, it is naturally an island like Hawk Island that does not have large rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Although we have high precipitation here, there is no way to store it for a long time, especially drinking water. Having to spend millions of pounds to import drinking water from the country of Salia, this cost can be saved in the future. Of course, for some densely populated islands, such as the country of Xingpo, the significance is even more important, and they will no longer have to worry about it Neighboring countries blackmail them with fresh water supplies."

Roger Andre Andre paused, and continued: "Then, of course, the Middle East and other desert countries, such as the Emirates, also include some other densely populated areas with severe water shortages, such as the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom, the southern part of the Federation , They may even spend huge sums of money to build a canal from the sea to the inland, using cheap desalinated seawater to flood the desert or arid area, and within a few years, the desert may become an oasis!"

"There are also ocean-going ships, which are also our potential customers. With our equipment, they don't need to store a lot of fresh water, and they can take it out and use it at any time, freeing up more space for cargo."

"There is also sewage treatment. Our equipment can not only desalinate seawater, but also have the same effect on sewage treatment. We have an unparalleled cost advantage. Considering that environmental protection is the theme of the world, the market prospect of this area may not be better than that of seawater desalination. smaller……"

……

Roger Andre was right in his guess.

When the product was released and promoted in the early stage, he could see the market feedback.

Soon, all the calls of Umbrella Technology Company were ringing, all of them came to place orders.

In the end, even Akagi Miya and Nico were invited to help answer the phone.

Moreover, more customers came to Hawke Island to negotiate in person.

In just one month, an order of 18.5 units was signed, worth as much as 182 billion pounds...

Umbrella certainly does not have this capacity, but fortunately, the foundry has already started horsepower production.

In fact, if there is more production capacity, more orders will be signed.

After deducting various costs, the net profit can be at least 65 billion!
Earn 65 billion in a month, this is the value of black technology! ...

This does not include the long-term supply profit of [SW-8040-HO-3208 reverse osmosis membrane].

Of course, due to capacity issues, it may actually take half a year or even longer to deliver the 18.5 units.

Orders are mainly from oil rich countries such as the Emirates, Dongguo, and Xingpo.

Surprisingly, Dongguo placed the most orders, occupying 7.2 units!

One Umbrella seawater desalination equipment theoretically produces 36 tons of fresh water per year, and 7.2 units is 259.2 billion tons.

What is this concept? The annual runoff of the Yellow River is 580 billion cubic meters, which is 580 billion tons of fresh water...

That is to say, the fresh water produced by these devices in a year is basically equivalent to the water volume of half of the Yellow River!

The value of 7.2 Umbrella seawater desalination equipment is about 70 billion pounds. Adding the cost of technical maintenance and reverse osmosis membrane, it is almost 100 billion pounds a year.

Ten billion pounds can produce half the water volume of the Yellow River. Anyone with a discerning eye can know how much change this will have on Blue Star...

He Xiao doesn't care about money anymore, what he cares about is Umbrella's influence and how the entry changes the world.

He is very clear that this technology will bring about earth-shaking and vicissitudes of change to Blue Star.

In the past, thousands of rivers flowed into the sea.

Now, the "sea water" is pouring into the mainland...

As Roger Andre said, from now on, there will be many more canals from the ocean to the inland on the Blue Star, and many arid desert areas will become oases with lush water and grass!
