Desalination plant increases production – Queensland – Austtalia The Gold Coast Tugun Desalination Plant is increasing its production, while one of the Gold Coast’s traditional treatment plants is temporarily shut down. The Mudgeeraba water treatment plant has been temporarily shut down for critical infrastructure maintenance. Seqwater Acting Chief Executive Officer Jim Prus, said, “This is about being smart about how we use our water grid assets in the most effective and efficient way possible. “The desalination plant is the best option available to ensure the ongoing supply of a safe and reliable water supply while maintenance is conducted at the Mudgeeraba plant.” The Gold Coast Desalination Plant […] Desalination plant increases production – Queensland – AusttaliaDME GmbH2017-12-01T20:04:15+01:00
Erster Chinesischer Marine-Nuklearreaktor wird bis 2020 betriebsbereit sein Die Provinz Hubei hat das technische Design für eine schwimmende Offshore-Nuklearanlage abgeschlossen und wird demnächst mit den Bauarbeiten beginnen. Der erste Marine-Reaktor in China soll somit bis zum Jahr 2020 ausgeliefert werden. Nukleare Offshore-Kraftwerke können mit einem Schiff jeweils dorthin transportiert werden, wo sie gebraucht werden. Sie können zudem für verschiedene Zwecke eingesetzt werden, dazu zählen das Betreiben von Bohrmaschinen für Offshore Öl- und Gasfelder, Stromerzeugung für die Versorgung auf Inseln sowie Beheizung und Entsalzung. Der Chargenbau für nukleare Offshore-Kraftwerke wird zu einem Markt führen, der in der nuklearen Energie-Industriekette Milliarden von Dollar wert sein könnte, so das „719“-Forschungsinstitut […] Erster Chinesischer Marine-Nuklearreaktor wird bis 2020 betriebsbereit seinDME GmbH2017-12-01T20:00:16+01:00
Zille lauds management of Bitou’s desalination plant- Plettenberg Bay – South Africa WESTERN Cape premier Helen Zille has lauded the design and management of Bitou’s desalination plant. She was in the area last Thursday to speak at the S-Cape Landowner’s Initiative’s Environmental Seminar 2017, and to inspect projects related to the Garden Route Rebuild Initiative. Talking about drought mitigation measures in Bitou, she said: “Roodefontein Dam is currently 72% full, and augmentation schemes in this municipality include equipping two new boreholes in Kurland, four in KwaNokuthula, and four in Uplands. “Drilling for these boreholes has already commenced, and we’re also planning two additional boreholes in Harkerville. After inspecting Plett’s desalination plant, […] Zille lauds management of Bitou’s desalination plant- Plettenberg Bay – South AfricaDME GmbH2017-12-01T20:00:13+01:00
Conversion of Visible Light into Ionic Power Using Photoacid-Dye-Sensitized Bipolar Ion-Exchange Membranes … Here, we report a ∼60-fold increase in the photovoltage through use of a bipolar membrane structure consisting of a cation-exchange membrane affixed to an anion-exchange membrane. The junction between the layers was characterized in detail using electrochemistry, scanning electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis. Our results represent considerable progress toward a device that directly converts sunlight into ionic electricity, which has implications for direct solar desalination of salt water. … Introduction It has been over three-quarters of a century since the discovery of the semiconductor pn-junction diode, […] Conversion of Visible Light into Ionic Power Using Photoacid-Dye-Sensitized Bipolar Ion-Exchange MembranesDME GmbH2017-11-28T07:41:22+01:00
Parliament to vote in plenary session on three laws related to nuclear activities – Cairo – Egypt The amendments are necessary before Egypt and Russia lay the foundation of the first nuclear power station at El-Dabaa …. El-Wakeel explained that the aforementioned authority will be affiliated with the Ministry of Electricity and will be mainly tasked with proposing the construction of nuclear power stations for the purpose of electricity generation in Egypt as well as establishing desalination projects. „This authority will also take charge of conducting studies and research on nuclear stations in Egypt, and drafting the specifications of these stations,“ said El-Wakeel, adding: „The amendments will also pave the way for the authority to […] Parliament to vote in plenary session on three laws related to nuclear activities – Cairo – EgyptDME GmbH2017-11-26T21:17:53+01:00
Nuclear Desalination – IAEA Desalination Thermodynamic Optimization Program (DE-TOP) DE-TOP has been developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency as a tool for the thermodynamic analysis and optimization of nuclear cogeneration systems (currently with options for nuclear desalination and district heating applications). DE-TOP can be used to models the steam power cycle (Rankine cycle) of different water cooled reactors or fossil plants, and the coupling with any other non-electrical application. With an intuitive graphical user interface and flexible system configuration, the user can select different coupling arrangements between power plant and non-electric application (single steam extraction, multiple steam extraction, backpressure operation, etc.). DE-TOP […] Nuclear Desalination – IAEADME GmbH2017-11-26T21:03:16+01:00
Nuclear Power Plant permanent desalination plant? Koeberg – South Africa Plans are underway to build a dozen desalination plants the majority will be temporary with the first ones expected to come online in February. CAPE TOWN – Australia’s multi-billion-dollar desalination plant in Perth cost its residents the equivalent of a cup of coffee per week. As western Australia experienced a serious drought, a desalination plant was commissioned and came online a decade ago. Back home, the City of Cape Town is hoping to pump an extra 300 million liters of desalinated water into the supply system. Plans are underway to build a dozen desalination plants, the majority […] Nuclear Power Plant permanent desalination plant? Koeberg – South AfricaDME GmbH2017-11-26T20:56:18+01:00
