A new competitor from MIT? Not really.

http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2010/itw-portable-desalination-1015.html

$8000 for a system that will produce 3800 litres.

SwissINSO's Krystall(TM) will product 100,000 litres per day (26x more). But I do not know the cost of a Krystall unit. To be cost competitive with the new MIT system it must sell for under $200k.

Then again, Krystall(TM) units are rolling off the production line, and the MIT prototype is just that.. a prototype.

Still, more buzz about this kind of tech is alwasy good!
