Ringside: Disruptive Desalination Technology Comes to California – California Globe

The concept of deep water desalination has been around for decades, but only in recent years has the enabling technology been available. Innovations pioneered by the oil and gas industry to better service offshore drilling platforms have matured. These include better ways to protect against corrosion of underwater equipment, and replacing hydraulic with electrical systems. Rapid advances in underwater robotic vehicles also promise to reduce cons…
