Water Desalination
Water scarcity is a global problem facing many countries in all continents. According to the United Nations, almost one quarter or water scarcity affects 1.7 billion people of the world’s population are living in regions with physical water scarcity. A further 600 million people are close to this situation. Water scarcity is one of the most important problems that will be faced by many societies in this 21st century.
Fortunately, many cities in the world that face water scarcity are located in coastal areas, while others have access to underground water. In coastal areas, seawater desalination has been and will continue to be an effective and important strategic approach to alleviate water shortage.
BIET provides turn-key customized desalination systems driven by solar energy, conventional energy, or waste to energy
according to water quality requirements and local conditions from the small scale to large scale and giant plants. Innovative
design concepts rely on integration of state of the art components and technologies developed by renowned industry partners
in Europe, Korea and USA. A main strategy of the innovative customized systems is to ensure reliability, minimize the
environmental footprint, enhance efficiency and reduce specific water costs.
First-of-its-Kind Large Scale Solar Water Desalination

BIET provides a turn-key customized desalination systems driven by solar energy, or driven by a combination of solar and waste to energy with the highest water quality standards from the small scale to large scale and giant plants. Innovative design concepts rely on integration of the revolutionary PVT + Green Hydrogen, i.e. BIET Technology, with state-of-the-art desalination systems and technologies developed by renowned industry partners in Europe, Korea and USA. A main strategy of the innovative customized systems is to ensure reliability, minimize the environmental and land footprint, enhance efficiency and reduce specific water costs.
The solar desalination systems are designed to produce electricity and water 24/7 during day and night using the patented solar hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PV-T) technology, or “Hassabou Technology”. The Hybrid (PV-T) Collector provides highest conversion efficiency of a solar system globally, extend the life time of PV modules, and provides highest energy harvesting density per unit of land area with continuous operation 24 hours without batteries or molten salts.
The water desalination plants are based on Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane systems, which can be “optionally” equipped with Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) to eliminate environmental problems associated with brine disposal in desalination plants.
The solar desalination plants produce drinking water from sea water or brackish underground water, or even for polishing treated sewage effluents (TSE) for the purpose of irrigation or reuse in the industrial applications.
Small Scale Solar Desalination Systems
For rural areas, industrial applications, residential complexes and small or remote communities, BIET offers modular and containerized water and waste water treatment systems as standing-alone reliable decentralized solutions.
The services and systems include:
– Containerized industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants up to 500 m3/day per unit
– Containerized drinking water treatment and desalination plants up to 500 m3/day per unit
– Innovative systems with customized design for water treatment for cooling towers with high circulation ratios
– Modular and customized design of solar desalination plants for agricultural purposes
Solar Power
As many countries are aiming at increasing renewables share in the energy mix, small scale, industrial systems and utility-scale solar power plants are being deployed at an accelerated pace supported by governments. The specific electricity costs of solar power plants have reached grid parity in more than 50% of countries worldwide, which encourages governments to attract investors, Independent Power Producers (IPP) to develop solar power and sell renewable electricity at a government-guaranteed price based on power purchase agreements (PPA) over a fixed period of time up to 25 years. BIET together with partners in Europe and USA is developing and investing in renewable energy projects in different countries worldwide.
