Energy Recovery (NASDAQ) has secured over $12 million in contracts to supply PX Pressure Exchanger devices for three seawater desalination projects in the UAE. The projects will create nearly 1 million cubic meters of desalination capacity per day, with one involving a floating desalination barge in the Arabian Gulf. This offshore solution addresses the lack of coastal land and offers an innovative approach for water-scarce regions.
The Water Development Department has announced plans to address water supply issues in Limassol and Paphos, officials told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday.
The strategy includes four new mobile desalination units nearing final design stages, as well as two permanent units slated for Limassol and Larnaca. Existing facilities are also set for expansion to combat potential water cuts following recent years of drought.
The City of Corpus Christi,a coastal city in the South Texas region of the U.S. state of Texas, has selected Kiewit Infrastructure South Co. to lead the design and construction of its first-ever desalination facility, the Inner Harbor Seawater Desalination Treatment Plant.
âThis is a significant milestone, one of the most important for the community, as it demonstrates our commitment to securing additional water resources for Corpus Christi and the surrounding areas,â said City Manager Peter Zanoni.
âIt is important for Cyprus to proceed with purchase of its own mobile desalination units since the problem of drought will not be going away,â the minister added.
Water in the islandâs reservoirs, mainly used for irrigation, now stands at a critical 27 per cent full, Water Development Department head George Kazantzis said on Sunday.
Currently the established plants are running at their maximum capacity. During the 2018 drought, Cyprus had also used additional mobile desalination as a stopgap measure, using leased units.
IN the face of climate change, unpredictable rainfall and a growing population, the Cityâs plans for a permanent desalination plant is a key project in the Cityâs New Water Programme (NWP) and Water Strategy, which aims to diversify drinking water supply resources.
The desalination project is expected to produce 50 to 70-million litres of water a day by 2030.
Overall, the City aims to add an extra 300-million litres of water per day from various sources, including desalination, water reuse, groundwater and clearing of alien invasive species.
The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy has approved temporary licenses for the development of five desalination plants across four Greek islands, marking a significant step in addressing water shortages.
In response to ongoing water scarcity issues, the Greek government has issued a record total of 25 temporary licenses for desalination plants since the beginning of the year. The new licenses pertain to the islands of Alonissos, Kalymnos, Pserimos and Telendos.
This was confirmed in a statement by WASA on Wednesday morning.
The Desalination Company of Trinidad and Tobago â DESALCOTT owned and operated Plant, normally supplies WASA with 40 million gallons of water per day (mgd); however, this has been reduced to 26 mgd, due to emergency maintenance work on the filter system at the facility.
The work is expected to be completed by midnight on Friday and the plant restored to full production on Saturday.
⊠the statistical physics theory has been deployed to unlock the mysteries of water molecule binding on Zeolite and Silica Gel at the microscopic level. The adopted computational procedure, based on the grand canonical partition function, provided physical insights of the docking mechanism by scrutinizing the stereographic and energetic variables.
Since reverse osmosis (RO) is often limited to a water recovery of 70â85 %, implementing a secondary process like electrodialysis metathesis (EDM) to treat concentrate can increase system water recovery. This study explores salt-free electrodialysis metathesis (SF-EDM) as an alternative to conventional EDM to investigate its performance in the zero discharge desalination (ZDD) process. SF-EDM utilizes monovalent-selective ion exchange membranes, eliminating the need for sodium chloride (NaCl) as a substitution solution.
Since 2023, Morocco has built some 44 of these desalination stations, also called âmonoblocâ â compact, transportable units that have come as a boon against the increasingly tangible effects of climate change.
The potable water is distributed with tanker trucks to remote areas in the country, currently grappling with its worst drought in nearly 40 years.
