Besix opens Desalination plant in Ajman – UAE

Belgian construction group Besix has announced the opening of a water recycling station in Ajman, UAE, following a major renovation work which will now boost its per day production capacity to 2.2 million gallons from the previous 300,000 gallons. The Safi Water Recycling Station, located at the Al Jurf Industrial Area, has been renovated at a cost of Dh30 million ($8.16 million), reported state news agency Wam. The facility will first obtain water from the Ajman Sewage Treatment Plant which will then be processed through micro-filtration and reverse osmosis process to make it pure. It will be later distributed [

Solar-powered device generates electricity through ion transport and could lead to low-cost for seawater desalination

By binding photosensitive dyes to common plastic membranes and adding water, chemists at the University of California, Irvine have made a new type of solar power generator. The device is similar to familiar silicon photovoltaic cells but differs in a fundamental way: Instead of being produced via electrons, its electricity comes from the motion of ions. Dubbed the “synthetic, light-driven proton pump” by its creators, the innovation – because of its ionic basis – has the added potential capability of taking the salt out of seawater. “The materials used to make such a device can be dirt-cheap,” said Shane Ardo, [

Cabo Verde (formerly Cape Verde) 100% renewable including desalination




One novel part in the puzzle may be the nation’s desalination systems, which provide drinking water for much of the population. They currently use large amounts of electricity, but by scheduling their use to times when wind turbines are operating and when electricity demand is low will help maximise their efficiency. And pumping this water up into reservoirs during these minimal usage periods will also enable hydroelectric power to be harnessed at times when more electricity is in demand.

Desalination: Cape Town’s solution to water shortages – South Africa

Minister of local government‚ environmental affairs and development planning in the Western Cape, Anton Bredell, says the province has been managing drought conditions in some parts of the region since 2010. “Three years of below-average rainfall have exacerbated the situation and despite proactive measures like the implementation of water restrictions and programmes to clear the Berg River of alien vegetation‚ the reality is we are faced with a dire situation.” Inspired by the Target 140 Campaign implemented in South East Queensland, Australia, Cape Town embarked on reducing water usage. So far residents’ water usage has dropped below 100 litres [

Mirfa Independent Water and Power Plant – Abu Dhabi – UAE

Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (Adwea) has started the commercial operations at its Dh5.4 billion ($1.46 billion) Mirfa Independent Water and Power Plant located about 110km from the UAE capital in the Dhafra Region. The plant, which boasts a power generation capacity of 1,600 megawatts (MW) and 238,665 cu m of water a day (52 million gallons of desalinated water), was inaugurated by Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region, reported state news agency Wam . The IWPP project involves the acquisition of certain existing water and power facilities; the development, design, engineering [

Innovative Water Treatment Technologies – India


. We have a very new solution – the low energy membrane system. It was launched a few months ago. The aim is to ensure environmental protection by employing water recycling. This saves 10-20% of energy depending on the water flow. In the Indian context, there are some industries where quality of water is not that good and where energy usage is high. Here we use ULP (Ultra Low Pressure) membrane where consumption of water is very less. This technology finds application in heavy industry like fertilisers and textiles. LANXESS is introducing its highperformance Lewabrane reverse osmosis membranes, Lewatit [

Hochschule Karlsruhe entwickelt ein innovatives Konzept zur Trinkwasseraufbereitung Karlsruhe – Germany


.

Hochschule Karlsruhe will Lösungen entwickeln. Im Oktober fand an der Hochschule Karlsruhe ein Symposium zum Verbundprojekt “WaKap” (“Modulares Konzept zur nachhaltigen Wasserentsalzung mittels Kapazitiver Deionisierung am Beispiel Vietnam”) statt. UnterstĂŒtzt wird dieses Projekt vom Bundesminsterium fĂŒr Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) mit ĂŒber 900.000 Euro. “WaKap” startete im September 2016 und wird durch Prof. Dr. Jan Hoinkis von der Hochschule Karlsruhe koordiniert. WĂ€hrend des Workshops wurden zusammen mit den Projektpartnern die bisherigen Projektergebnisse sowie die AktivitĂ€ten anderer Forschungsgruppen vorgestellt und diskutiert. Anlage bereitet Grundwasser neu auf. Im “WaKap”-Projekt soll ein energieeffizienter, modularer Kombinationsprozess zur Entsalzung von Meer-, Brack- und Grundwasser [
