History

IDE Technologies ltd. was founded in 1965 as a pioneer in the area of desalination technology. Initial efforts were focused on developing a unique direct contact freeze desalination process based on the technologies developed by IDE’s founder, Eng. Alexander Zarchin.

IDE has since diversified into other processes related to the separation, concentration and/or purification of aqueous solutions, such as Mechanical Vapor Compression (MVC) and Multi-Effect Distillation (MED), Vapor Compression Concentrators (VCC), Vacuum Ice Machines (VIM) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology.

Soon after inception, the company emerged commercial operations with the sale of numerous thermal desalination units.

Throughout the years the company has become a private company. For further details please refer to the company profile.
