MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114275 A) filed by Ims Engineering College, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Nov. 18, 2025, for 'solar-powered low-cost portable water desalination device.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Vivek Pandey.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a solar-powered low-cost portable water desalination device designed to efficiently convert saline, brackish, or contaminated water into potable water using renewable solar energy. The device operates on the principles of solar thermal evaporation, condensation, and heat recovery, employing a high-absorptivity solar absorber plate, a transparent condensation dome, and a saline water basin arranged in a compact and thermally optimized configuration. A dual-stage evaporation and condensation system is integrated to reuse residual heat from the condensation process for preheating incoming saline water, thereby enhancing overall efficiency and freshwater yield. The system also features a capillary-based feed mechanism that ensures uniform water distribution and prevents salt accumulation, allowing continuous operation without external power. Constructed from recyclable, lightweight, and affordable materials, the device is modular, portable, and scalable, suitable for household, community, or emergency use. The invention provides a sustainable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solution to global water scarcity by delivering clean drinking water through a fully self-sustained solar desalination process."
