R-EVOLUTION LAUNCHES DESALINATION INITIATIVE TO ACCELERATE GLOBAL ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

R-evolution, the sustainable innovation and green-tech investment subsidiary of Hexagon AB is launching a desalination initiative to address freshwater scarcity.

R-EVOLUTION LAUNCHES DESALINATION INITIATIVE TO ACCELERATE GLOBAL ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

R-evolution will apply Hexagon’s technology to offer digital twin solutions that enable operational efficiency, replicability and scalability for desalination plants worldwide.

The initiative is ignited with a strategic partnership with Desolenator, a Dutch start-up pioneering the world’s first circular solar thermal desalination system. R-evolution will provide the digital thread for monitoring and optimising Desolenator facilities with efficient and sustainable practices to advance desalination operations in real-time.

During COP 28, Desolenator and R-evolution will showcase the partnership's end-to-end solutions at the solar thermal desalination plant in Al Ain, UAE, 150 km south of Dubai. The approach includes net-zero water for irrigation, zero harmful chemicals and integrated greenhouse cooling. The brackish water is converted into clean water for a levelised cost of water under 1 dollar per 1000 litre, used to grow tomatoes and strawberries in the desert.

R-evolution’s desalination digital twin represents three main applications:
  • Build – Time-lapse and AI monitoring with Hexagon’s OxBlue camera to increase visibility of the plant construction efficiency.
  • Operate – Mobile asset performance management with Hexagon’s RevX solution to speed up reaction with actionable insights and work order management.
  • Optimise – 3D digital twin with Hexagon’s Leica BLK2GO reality capture sensor to visualise workflows and optimise operations and maintenance.
