SiN has always suspected that ripping salt out of water is not a high margin enterprise.

Why spend taxpayer's hard earned zapping the salty stuff to produce no-sodium H20? 

Not that the process of desalination was the reason behind the bankrupting of Roya Sheikholeslami, a highly credentialed, Iranian born Canadian chemical engineering scientist currently wowing them in Scotland.

After moving from Sydney to Edinburgh in the late 1990s, Roya's affairs were put in the hands of bankruptcy trustee Ray Tolcher.
