Sea-Purifying Canteens

The 'Puri' Desalinating Bottle Lets You Drink from the Ocean

— August 6, 2013 — Art & Design
The 'Puri' desalinating bottle works to let you drink directly from the sea. Designers Minji Kim, Younsun Kim, Byungsoo Kim and Kangkyung Lee created the bottle as a simple solution for those without easy access to a fresh water source. The ingenious bottle was primarily designed to be used in emergency situations by those stranded on a life raft on the ocean.

Puri works by using reverse osmosis. After you fill the first chamber with saltwater, you can generate pressure to begin placing freshwater in the second chamber. This is done through a large pump on the top of bottle. As you press on the pump, clean water rushes into a segregated container. As a result, you can enjoy drinkable water even if you don't have access to any electricity.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Desalination - The Puri desalinating bottle demonstrates the trend of portable desalination technology, opening opportunities for compact and efficient water purifying solutions.
2. Emergency Water Solutions - The Puri bottle addresses the trend of emergency water solutions, showcasing the potential for innovative designs that can provide clean drinking water in life-threatening situations.
3. Reverse Osmosis Innovation - The Puri bottle utilizes reverse osmosis technology, highlighting the trend of advancements in reverse osmosis for water purification systems that can be applied in various settings.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Adventure Gear - The Puri desalinating bottle presents opportunities for the outdoor adventure gear industry to develop water purification products suitable for emergency situations and outdoor activities.
2. Maritime Survival Equipment - The Puri bottle's application in life rafts demonstrates the potential for the maritime survival equipment industry to create compact and reliable desalination solutions for maritime emergencies.
3. Renewable Energy and Sustainability - The Puri bottle's reliance on reverse osmosis without electricity highlights the potential for the renewable energy and sustainability industry to adopt and enhance desalination technologies with minimal environmental impact.
