How does this system deal with the tonnes of salt or toxic brine left behind in the process? In current desalination processes, discharge of the toxic brine is destroying marine ecosystems near every plant. In the Persian Gulf, nearly 90% of coral reefs are dead from this toxic discharge. If entire coast lines are covered with these units, will that not simply increase environmental damage of that ecosystem?
