(PATENT PENDING)
Large Scale Municipal - Developed Areas
This opportunity focuses on large-scale municipal applications for the PCDA. This entails contracts with customers including water districts such as DWP of Los Angeles and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Water Project of Northern California. Such applications would involve very large linked-PCDAs integrated with existing supply and control infrastructures. Very large systems would be implemented to provide sustainable potable water supplies, and replenish depleted aquifers for public consumption.
Large Scale Municipal - Undeveloped or Developing Areas
This opportunity focuses on large-scale municipal applications for the PCDA. This segment is identified as unique to undeveloped and developing areas.
Southern California Water Area
This opportunity focuses on integration of PCDA with existing and planned public infrastructure. It will add to freshwater capacity as well as public consumption. Implemented through local water authorities. Agricultural water conservation, urban water conservation and water recycling applications funded under state grants.
San Joaquin Delta Project
This opportunity focuses on integration of PCDA with existing and planned public infrastructure. Replenishes depleted aquifers and adds to freshwater capacity as well as public consumption. Agricultural water conservation, urban water conservation and water recycling applications funded under state grants.
Santa Barbara City Project
This opportunity focuses on coupling PCDA with existing source and supply pipelines. Facilities previously dedicated for a defunct reverse osmosis system would be utilized.
Brackish Aquifer Desalination
The approach lends itself to land locked water provision from underground water sources with high mineral content in the same way that it is applicable to marine environments. Pumping and local logistics are comparable to alternative methods.
Industrial
Industrial Waste Stream Scrubber
This opportunity focuses on industrial customers who need to recycle process waters and to separate hazardous impurities from effluent. The PCDA would be integrated with waste stream separation processes and replace less efficient and more costly components of these processes.
Industrial Water Pre-Treatment
This opportunity focuses on industrial customers who require fresh water for processing operations.
Bottled/Packaged Water Producers
This opportunity focuses on industrial customers who produce water based products (not including agricultural markets).
Sea Deployment
Large Scale Platform, Shipboard
This opportunity focuses on shipboard applications for freshwater harvesting and for stationary platform freshwater sources.
Portable/Specialty
Wilderness Sports Unit
This opportunity focuses on a small (hand-carried) configuration of the PCDA suitable for remote location temporary or permanent installations.
Marine Pleasure Craft Unit
This opportunity focuses on pleasure marine accessories market. The PCDA would be included in or supplement existing first aid or survival kits carried on-board private pleasure craft.
Garden Greenhouse Kit
This opportunity focuses on a garden kit distributed by major retailers that also provides greenhouse and shade space.
Emergency Provisional
Home Safety Kit
This opportunity focuses on a home safety kit distributed by major retailers providing filtering of water and purification during disruption of supply.
Disaster Area Response
This opportunity focuses on medium scale portable systems suitable for airlift delivery, container ship, and/or delivered by truck. The customers are government and charitable humanitarian or emergency disaster relief organizations.
Residential
Commercial Residential and Developers
This opportunity focuses on commercial properties, public buildings, government buildings, and commercial residential properties. The PCDA would be integrated into the building’s primary water supply for initial treatment from marine or tainted ground sources as well as gray water waste stream to remove impurities for recycling to fresh water. Array panels are added to exterior walls, as decorative panels, to form awnings, roofs or fascia, or can be integrated into the structure by architects for new structures.
Private Residential and Homeowners
This opportunity focuses on the home improvement green movement market comprised of private homeowners. Whether through an installation contractor or as a do it yourself project, these customers would integrate PCDA panels into the building’s gray water waste stream to remove impurities for recycling to fresh water. Array panels are added to exterior walls, as decorative panels, to form awnings or can be integrated into the structure by architects. Distributed through leading building and lumber stores.
Agricultural
Large Agricultural Producers
This opportunity focuses on large scale PCDA systems, for close to medium proximity to saltwater, which supplies fresh water for open air agriculture and food production.
Commercial Greenhouses
This opportunity focuses on PCDA systems configured with greenhouses. So configured, as a partial fill-factor, the PCDA provides insulation, shade and fresh water.
Run-Off Scrubber
This opportunity focuses on runoff cleanup and removal of salt buildup.
Large Scale Wetlands Restoration
Restoration of wetland ecosystems has been indicated as a primary means of stabilizing desertification in areas with historically high rainfall.
Atmospheric CO2 Scrubbing
Integrated Scrubber Systems
This opportunity focuses on integration of PCDA-supplied agriculture in greenhouse or open air applications primarily intended to increase green area CO2 removal from the atmosphere. Integrated systems operating as greenhouses would also be capable of scrubbing CO2 from urban air streams or industrial processing exhaust when coupled to the gas production waste stream. (This sentence is confusing) Both approaches allow for food and excess water production for human or livestock consumption.
Collocated with Open Ocean Fish and Shell Fish Farming
This approach allows for synergy between exhausted water production systems and food production similar to marine greenhouses. The method will serve both as refuge and structure for 'cultivated' species as well as protection from predators and of noncultivated species and protection of the system from yet other species.
Large Scale Scrubber
Large-scale weather impacts of ocean surface installations is anticipated to form an increasing role in system deployment planning
Fresh Water Recovery for Impoverished Families and Villages
Poverty and Disease Relief Kit
This opportunity focuses on development of personal or small village adaptation of the PCDA for impoverished people where humanitarian activities exist in relief-packaged bundles. The adapted version of the PCDA would be portable by small truck (potentially could include a smaller backpack-portable personal configuration) allowing its use in remote areas. Since the PCDA has no moving parts and requires no other energy aside from sunlight, its use by people without facilities or technical training is feasible. The PCDA may be readily integrated as a component of relief packages currently in humanitarian distribution.
