Solar Thermal Ponds
n
nWaste is rife in all ‘corners of the globe’. Be-it water,nsewage, medical, municipal, heat, distribution losses, negligence, inefficiencynor even sunshine. If only we could reduce wastes and unify our systems, wencould supply the ‘same for [much] less’.

nA very saline artificial lake can be utilisednas both a solar collector and solar energy storage medium. We have expertisenwithin this field and are seeking projects where this technology can benutilised and scaled up to produce significant energy volumes.
n
nThe ideal locationncloses to the sea in very high sunshine areas, with needs for both electricityngeneration and water purification. Drinkable water will be available from thisnstation near the sea.

nThis innovative system will also allow thenuser to produce sea-salt. This new salt is of a very good quality and will allownthe user to stop using and withdrawing salt from the lake. This dramaticnchange will take some time and will protect the delicate Lake ecosystem innthe long run.
n
nFurthermore thisnsame pond can harbour brine shrimps as a way to clean the water. This gives thenopportunity of a new source of revenue from marketing the shrimp.
n
nInitially the saltnponds will be filled with sea water or from the flood waters entering the Lake.nZero Energy Systems[ZES or Sun Earth Energy -SEE] can advise on the construction and specification of suchnponds and to design these to power the development around Lake.
n
nTechnically thenwater at the bottom of a solar salt pond can reach up to 95 oC. Thisnheat allows the production of electricity – dependent on the size of the solarnsalt pond between 2-5MW of power can be produced continuously.
