Not all water is created equal. 

In this episode of Preview of Tomorrow Louise Bleach, Head of Impact at Desolenator, explains how the startup pioneered a solar-driven, ecofriendly water purification system. Louise highlights the major pitfalls of standard desalination processes such as cost, carbon emissions and volume of chemicals used to treat water. Desolenator established a desalination process powered entirely by renewable energy that utilizes a singular biodegradable chemical and is resilient to water changes. The company’s solution provides clean drinking water at scale, all with a net zero environmental impact.
