The Albuquerque-based company's AltelaRain system essentially mimics the evaporation-condensation cycle that makes life on earth possible. The system takes bracken, salty water, boils it, creates steam, and the steam is cooled to become purified water. Like in nature, the water gets cleaned because the salts and other materials get separated during the evaporation process</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9799839-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1023_3-0-5">
Some of the more interesting companies that have emerged in the past few years include NanoH2O (efficient desalination membrane out of UCLA), Ecosphere (high pressure desalination) and Atlantium (optical technology and UV light for purification)</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9799839-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1023_3-0-5">
Another interesting facet of Altela's system is that it is modular. An entire unit that can process 250 gallons of water a day fits into a 20 x 40 shipping container</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9799839-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1023_3-0-5">
The modularity helps make Altela's system cheaper than reverse osmosis systems, the most common way to turn sea water into drinking water</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/213E3741-E0E7-49D9-86B2-494259205A8A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
