January 2012 - Holon/Israel - Manukau/New Zealand. Lesico and Gerindtec agreed to launch to India the Wind Aided intensified Evaporation WAIV Technology, a state-of-the-art enhanced evaporation technology for brine volume reduction/minimization. The device is operated by the wetting of evaporation surfaces, mounted on suitably constructed modues. A pump brings the water from brine holding pond/ solar pond to a distribution network on top of the vertical surfaces from which the vertical strips are fed by gravity. The device uses the driving power of wind, which drives away the excess humidity from the surfaces to itensify the evaporation process by a factor of 15-20 X more than a conventional evaporation pond.

India: Two Solar Desalination Pilot Projects based on MEH Process
Submitted by Baerbel Epp on Sat, 08/28/2010 - 14:00.
One box on three Euro palettes brings the desalination unit to the site: The MiniSal 1000 purifies up to 1,000 litres of sea or brackish water per day like this installation in the town of Al-Hail in Oman. The first two pilot projects in India are already under way.

One of the two pilot projects for solar thermal desalination in India with technology from a German company was set up in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The so-called MiniSal 1000 has a daily capacity of 1,000 litres of purified drinking water and has just started operating in August. Its highly selective flat plate collectors were delivered by another German company. The project was realised in cooperation a system integration company and Gerindtec.
“This pilot project will be a demonstration unit for decision makers on the subcontinent and will most probably lead to further projects in the region,” Hendrik Müller-Holst, Technical Director of the system integrator, explains.
The patented technology called Multi-Effect Humidification (MEH), which consists of two repeatedly applied work processes: In the first one, solar collectors deliver the energy to evaporate the sea or brackish water, which in turn will condense into purified water during the second process.
The advantage of the MEH technology according to a presentation held at the Intersolar North America in San Francisco in July: The process demands relatively low temperatures of around 80°C, which usual flat plate collectors are able to provide in a tropical country. The specific investment costs are also relatively low, with 15 EUR per litre and day. Consequently a unit producing 1,000 litres per day would cost EUR 15,000. Furthermore, it is not necessary to pre-treat the water chemically and the demand for maintenance is minimal.

New Zealand in June 2009
Gerind Technology has now extended its business to include Water Management and Solar technologies. Beginning June 2009 the latest state of the art solar powered desalination systems have been introduced into the Indian market.
The production of drinking water from sea water or bore (brackish) water with solar technology has exceeded the expectations of various government bodies, as well as those of pharmaceutical companies and hospitals.
The Australian subsidiary of the Gerindtec Group focuses on solar de-mineralization units for very remote areas to produce drinking water with MEH technology that gives on average a three times higher output of drinking water with hardly any maintenance when compared with common RO systems.
The re-alignment has also helped the organization focus on the most urgent needs in India.
New training programs have been initiated to further lift the expertise of Gerindtec´s employees, their clients and business partners.
Over the past 15 years the management has successfully supported international corporations to become the top players in their fields in India.
The team of Gerind Technology India Pvt.Ltd. and its business partners ensure a high level of business acumen, top service, and professional and high level expertise to our clients.
