- Additional information
- The introduction of an adsorption cycle within a conventional multi-effect desalination system proved highly efficient and led to the world’s first “adsorption water desalination and cooling plant” (https://www.medad-tech.com/technologies). The MEDAD technology was recognised by multiple awards including: the Innovative Individual Award for M. W. Shahzad at the Global Innovation Award in Water 2020 (https://idadesal.org/unlocking-desalination-with-solar-energy/); the 2019 National Energy Globe Award Saudi Arabia (https://saudigazette.com.sa/article/578498); and the 2020 Sustainability Medal from MEED Project Awards (https://wdrc.kaust.edu.sa/Pages/News-2021-Hybrid-MEDAD-wins-MEED-Sustainability-Medal-2020.aspx). The innovative idea of solar driven hybrid desalination cycle led to a keynote talk invitation at the Global Water Summit in Madrid, Spain (March 2020).
