The saline waste streams could be repurposed & beneficial for i) hydroelectric generator to supply electricity & ii) electrolyte for aqueous battery and supercapacitor.
About
I am working at the University of Glasgow as Reader (Associate Professor) and I am highly interested in translating my knowledge into tangible assets. The proposed idea shown here clearly reflects it & multiple publications were already present to prove my concepts & proposed system.
Key Benefits
There are multiple ways that my proposed idea can bring key benefits:
1) For electrolyte selling to the battery/supercapacitor companies (for commercialization), research institutes/universities (for research purpose): making products based on troublesome wastes
2) Self-sustainability, lower cost of the meat processing technology within the company: could bring down the cost of electricity use by adopting hydroelectric generator that employs saline wastes (the electricity generation takes place as a form of evaporation)
3) For hydroelectric generator with saline wastes that could be sold to multiple external end-users and customers (the ubiqutious, 24/7 generating capability of the hydroelectric generator makes the overall concept very appealing for many potential end users and customers)
Applications
1) Battery & Supercapacitor Company: for selling electrolyte solutions for commercial feasibility
2) Companies requiring ESS: hydroelectric generator can be used as an auxiliary component
3) Remote rural areas/entities requiring more sustainable electricity supply: where hydroelectric generator can be used
