SunDragon Salt Factory Announces Solution to Water Industry's Billion Dollar Brine Discharge Problem in Southwest

The separation of dissolved solids (salt) from water is a national problem for municipal water systems and the stunted desalination industry of the United States, costing in the billions of dollars.
SunDragon Salt Factory has developed a novel solar approach for volume distilled water production by the separation of dissolved solids and salt from water, a zero brine discharge solution.
The growing salinity problem of the water system, particularly in the southwest, is a threat to the environment and is becoming subject to more stringent standards by local governments and the EPA. Desalination brine discharge is the culprit that effects the environment and economic growth of the southwestern U. S..
The answer to the water industry's brine concentrate disposal problem in the southwest is the SunDragon Salt Factory: a solar distiller with a zero brine discharge system.
SunDragon Salt Factory's process is 100% green, returning distilled water to the environment and collecting dissolved solids and salts through exsiccation (drying). No liquid salt brine is produced using SunDragon Salt Factory systems.
SunDragon Salt Factory's exsiccation technology breaks free flowing feed water into droplets and globules upon contact with the evaporators surface, causing impurities to scale on the evaporator surface and drying any salt into a cake. 100% of the water droplets and globules evaporate in a few seconds producing an environmentally friendly, usable distilled water.
SunDragon Salt Factory systems are designed for the southwestern American market, targeting West Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and southern California.
SunDragon Salt Factory systems are not for consumer use; they are designed to handle high volume brackish aquifer, seawater, greywater, wastewater and water classified as industrial or hazardous waste.
