Mexican patents system to make sea water drinkable
The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted to Mexican chemical engineer Jorge Lechuga Andrade a patent for the desalination of water by means of reverse osmosis of the centrifugal type.

Professor at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering of the Autonomous University of Yucatan, six years ago Lechuga Andrade decided to initiate a research on the processes of desalination of sea water, due to its economic and ecological importance.

According to Excelsior newspaper, after several tests Lechuga Andrade invented a system that uses the filter developed based on reverse osmosis technology as a fundamental component that uses hollow fiber membrane modules arranged in a spiral manner around a central support pipe and distributed in concentric rings around the periphery of the rotating section to favor the formation of Dean vortices. His system requires up to 80% less investment in electrical energy compared to similar ones currently used in Europe and Asia.
