SHC Task 62 has worked to improve the conditions and increase the applications of solar-driven separation and water purification technologies in industrial applications in order to push the solar water treatment market and to solve water problems at locations with abundant solar energy resources

The change to a sustainable, resource- and energy-efficient industry represents a significant challenge for the coming years. The efficient supply of energy, the best possible integration of renewable energy sources and the recovery of resources in the sense of a circular economy must go hand in hand. The use of solar process heat represents a large, but so far largely unused, potential in industry. Innovative and concrete solutions are needed for the long-term and successful introduction of solar thermal energy. The integration of solar process heat to supply technologies for wastewater treatment represents a new field of application with excellent technical and economic potential for solar thermal energy. The efficient interaction, the nexus between solar energy, water and industry opens up new and innovative approaches.
