SW Saskatchewan | Sometime back in the 70's an engineer got the idea that if you sprayed Brackish ground water onto a big plastic sheet, you could carefully separate the salt from the fresh by tuning the run-off with air temperature.
Supposedly the salty stuff would freeze last and melt first-simple eh?
They spent several winters building a big "berg" by the water plant and tried the process- never seemed to work-either too warm to build an ice sculpture, too much wind and always too damn cold when the Poo-baas from Saskatoon came to watch.
The demonstration they had in the frozen North never did work-always too cold and the spray system to build the berg would freeze up.
So Ernie, you can try to melt your sculpture for fresh water OR now that you have proven the system next year you can send some home brew down the line and go into production of your own biofuels! | |
