Emirates Electrical & Instrumentation Company (EEIC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MediSun Energy, a company specialising in osmotic (blue) energy technology, to partner on desalination in the UAE.
Through this collaboration, EEIC will leverage MediSun Energy’s WEGen technology in desalination processes and brine management, which it said is less energy-intensive compared to Traditional Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems that produce brine as a byproduct.
“By integrating our WEGen technology, which utilizes osmotic power, we can improve energy efficiency and reduce consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional RO systems,” said Dusun Kim, Co-Founder & CEO of MediSun Energy.
Hagop Dermosessian, General Manager at Emirates Electrical & Instrumentation Company (EEIC) & GCG Engineering Services, added: “Our collaborative efforts will importantly help to stimulate the future of sustainable water brine management in the UAE.
“Leveraging our core competencies to deliver innovative and efficient solutions is an exciting step to protect the wider environment and mitigate the effects of costly RO systems. Our collaboration with MediSun Energy as the exclusive distributor for the UAE and our expertise spanning over 2 decades reflect our dedication to delivering comprehensive solutions in the renewable energy field.”
