Chapter 035: Reverse Osmosis Membranes
He Xiao and Diana did not stay in Dongguo for long, and hurried back to Hawk Island.
Upon his return, Roger André approached him and reported to him on the recent operations of Ambrera.
The first is the production of Ambrera brand coconut water, after months of preparatory trials, the first batch of coconut water production lines on Hawk Island has been officially started, with an estimated annual output of 1 million boxes and annual sales of up to 4 million pounds, and plans to expand this scale to 10 million boxes and 40 million pounds in two years, this scale of workers on the island is certainly not enough, and a large number of workers from overseas need to be recruited.
At the same time, Roger André is actively exploring the sales market, and according to preliminary investigations, due to the application of new raw pressing technology, the taste of Ambrera coconut water far exceeds the various coconut water available on the market, and the sales prospects are very positive.
On the other hand, Ambrera is also actively building factories in overseas coconut origin areas in various ways to produce coconut water locally, including but not limited to the surrounding countries of Salia, Feiki, and Za on the hot continent......
The plan is to increase the total production of Ambrera coconut water to 150 million cases and the total sales to 600 million pounds within five years, to the point where it can compete with several other large coconut water beverage companies in the world.
Then, according to He Xiao's requirements, in order to solve the problem that Hawke Island cannot store a large amount of fresh water for a long time due to geological reasons, and fresh water needs to be imported for a long time, Ambrera Company acquired a research and development company from Fusang with a heavy investment of 65 million yuan, obtained the patent and technical equipment of seawater desalination semi-permeable membrane, and based on this, developed an upgraded version of reverse osmosis technology.
There are more than 20 kinds of seawater desalination technologies on Bluestar, including reverse osmosis, low multi-effect, multi-stage flash evaporation, electrodialysis, autoclavour distillation, dew point evaporation, hydropower co-generation, thermal film co-generation, and seawater desalination technology using nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, etc., as well as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and other pretreatment and post-treatment processes.
Among them, reverse osmosis is the most advanced and commercially promising technology.
Reverse osmosis, also known as ultrafiltration, is a membrane separation desalination method that was only used decades ago. This method uses a semi-permeable membrane that only allows solvents to pass through and does not allow solutes to pass through to separate seawater from fresh water.
The biggest advantage of the reverse osmosis method is energy saving. At present, its energy consumption is only 1/2 of that of electrodialysis and 1/40 of that of distillation. Therefore, since 30 years ago, developed countries such as the United States and Fuso have successively shifted their development focus to the reverse osmosis method.
But at present, the technology is not mature enough, there is still a lot of room for improvement, the key lies in the semi-permeable membrane, the most advanced semi-permeable membrane in the world for the filtration effect of seawater, is not perfect enough, after the filtered seawater, the water quality will be further improved.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still a matter of cost.
Today's desalination technology has been able to produce sufficient water for domestic use, but even the current reverse osmosis desalination technology, which has the lowest energy consumption, is too expensive to be promoted on a large scale, and can only be commercially valuable in countries such as the emirate, which are rich and extremely short of water.
How would the world change if a desalination technology could be developed at a negligible cost?
This is actually a thing that He Xiao has been planning for a long time, Ambrera can't always produce coconut water......
It's time for some hacks.
The reason why seawater desalination technology was chosen is because this technology is relatively unpopular compared with chip lithography machines and the like, and it also meets the actual needs of Hawk Island, and it is easier to gain trust.
Due to the success of the coconut water freshly squeezed technology in the early stage, and the fact that Hawker Island is now a small oil tyrant in the eyes of outsiders, plus some preliminary preparations, such as the heavy acquisition of Fuso enterprises, these are all news.
On this basis, editing a new entry on seawater and freshwater technology is obviously still like that.
For example, if the oil tyrant emirate says that they have developed a new type of seawater desalination technology, most people will believe it, because everyone has heard that these oil tyrants will spend a lot of money on scientific research every year to come up with such a less conspicuous technology, and the possibility is very great.
But if Dr. Marl suddenly announced this, most of you won't believe it, why are you, aren't you engaged in tourism, and technology?
In order to continue to increase his trust, he made up a "world-renowned" doctor named Li Xiangdong, who was invited by Hawk Island to join the Ambrera Research Center and preside over the desalination technology project.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

……
The difficulty is not small, although it does not reach the million-level difficulty, but it is also very close.
It seems that black technology is not easier to get out than superpowers.
That's right, after all, water droplets, Zhizi, and two-way foil are also black technologies, and there is no essential difference between them and superpowers......
It's all something that comes out of nothing in the context of the current world, after all, the technology of science fiction works is not real.
These are also the two aspects that he is currently planning.
On the one hand, he must engage in superpowers, increase his own defense capabilities, and ensure his absolute security, so that he can let go of his hands and feet to do what he wants.
On the other hand, if you want to engage in black technology and have such a powerful golden finger, of course, you have to do something to this world and help human civilization to upgrade, and you can't be trapped on the earth all the time, you have to develop step by step, and go to the sea of stars to have a look.
And if you want to do all this, it is definitely not appropriate in his personal name, and Ambrera must be bigger and stronger.
Ambrera's overseas coconut water factory is really just a front, and the real purpose is to expand its influence and gradually become a truly global technology giant.
"Roger, I heard that there has been an armed attack on the side of the country of Reda, which has caused a lot of casualties, and the factory we are preparing to build there needs to establish an armed force to ensure the safety of our factory personnel." He Xiao said to Roger Andre.
"Your Excellency, I am also thinking about this issue, Zazania is an important coconut origin, the most important thing is that it has not been seized by other coconut water companies, it is a good development area for us, which is a good thing for us and for the local area, but the security problem in the country is indeed very serious, and many foreign companies in the country need to ensure the safety of personnel and property through their own armed forces." Roger Andre said.
"Then let's form one, and we'll call it ...... It's called the 'Ambrera Security Force', and it recruits veterans from various countries and local young adults, and they are trained professionally. He Xiao said.
"Okay, I'm going to prepare for it, there should be no problem on the Zazi side, as long as they give enough money, they will allow anything to appear in their territory, compared to those foreign super mining companies, Ambrera is not too conspicuous to produce coconut water." Roger Andre said.
"Haha, maybe one day, we'll be the most conspicuous one." He Xiao said with a smile.
