Product description

The Tethys Modular Solar Desalination System (TSD) is a groundbreaking solution that addresses the critical need for clean water in off-grid areas using sustainable and innovative technology. The system harnesses the power of sunlight to desalinate water through a unique evaporation-condensation cycle, eliminating the reliance on electricity or fossil fuels.

What sets TSD apart is its modular design, constructed with recyclable materials, allowing for rapid deployment in diverse settings. By utilizing solar energy to heat contaminated or saline water and generate vapor, which is then condensed into potable water, TSD significantly reduces energy consumption by over 90% compared to traditional reverse osmosis methods. This not only lowers operational costs but also minimizes environmental impact.

With the ability to chain modules together to match varying capacity needs, from small communities to industrial or municipal use, TSD is versatile and adaptable. It can treat a wide range of water sources, including seawater, brackish water, agricultural runoff, and polluted water, making it suitable for farms, factories, tourism, disaster zones, and remote villages.

The plug-and-play deployment of TSD supports sustainable development, humanitarian aid efforts, and decentralized water supply initiatives, ensuring that communities worldwide have access to clean and affordable water resources.

About the Company

Tethys Solar Desalination (TSD) is an Israeli cleantech startup delivering modular, off-grid solar-powered water purification and desalination systems. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, the company pioneered a patented solar thermal technology that directly uses sunlight—without electricity—to evaporate and condense water, slashing energy costs by over 90%. Their scalable modules can produce between 0.05 m³ and 10,000 m³ of fresh water per day, suitable for farms, factories, hotels, communities, or disaster relief scenarios. Using recyclable materials and a plug-and-play setup, TSD offers a low-cost, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional RO systems. With pilots planned for Israel by 2017 and interest from partners across China, the U.S., Africa, India, and South America, TSD is poised to address the global water scarcity crisis with innovative modular solutions.
