INSTALLATION FOR USE OF WIND ENERGY USED IN PRODUCTION OF PRESSURE BY MECHANICAL MEANS FOR PROPELLING SEAWATER TO A DESALINATION PLANT BY INVERSE OSMOSIS AND USE OF THE BRINE FOR ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION

摘要

The innovation of the present invention is that pressure is generated exclusively by mechanical means by using the force generated by the wind on a vane or blade (1), causing movement thereof, and that, after transmission of said power to an assembly of pulleys (2), situated in a vertical position and connected by a gearing system, the system causes said pulley assembly (2), situated in vertical position, in its turn, to transmit the force through its lower base, to a transmission mechanism (4) and then to a gear box (5), enabling the movement of a high-speed shaft (6) which produces sufficient force to obtain the pressure necessary to produce the energy required by the seawater extracton pumps and the filtering system (7) and by the pumps for propulsion to the inverse osmosis installation. Downstream from the inverse osmosis desalination installation, the brine is used to produce electric power, as is common practice in this type of desalination plant without consuming electric power and with no need for any other type of polluting energy and with the added value of using the brine coming from the desalination for the producion of sufficient electric power to self-supply all the general and auxiliary installations of the inverse osmosis desalination plant.
