REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, ABU DHABI — The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has promised to build three desalination plants in the besieged Gaza Strip. The factory is to supply an important water supply for the Gaza population.
The BMC supplies 3,850 million litre water daily to the citizens for potable use. However, the actual demand per day is 4,200 million litres. The hydraulic department of the BMC from time to time reviews available water stock and draws water plans for the year.
The utility, equipped with reverse osmosis technology, will have a daily capacity of 570,000 cubic meter per day to supply 2 million people in the cities of Riyadh and Qassim once commercially operational in 2024.
The plant, with a capacity of 108,000 m3/day, supplies at least 10% of the water consumption of the Tampa Bay region and was the biggest in the country at the time of its construction. ACCIONA has operated the plant from the outset in partnership with US WATER Services Corporation, which took over from American Water in September this year.
The EIB is providing the finance as part of the Global Gateway, a European strategy to stimulate smart, clean and secure links in the digital, energy and transport sectors, and to strengthen health, education and research systems worldwide. The loan will be granted through its new 25-year development finance subsidiary EIB Global.
La compagnia di navigazione giapponese Mitsui OSK Lines (Mol) e la norvegese EnviroNor AS hanno firmato un memorandum d’intesa per produrre insieme una nave galleggiante di desalinizzazione (floating desalination vessel) con la prospettiva di una auspicabile commercializzazione. Una nave di desalinizzazione galleggiante è dotata di apparecchiature di desalinizzazione dell’acqua di mare che utilizzano membrane ad osmosi inversa per rimuovere le impurità e produrre acqua potabile da fornire a riva.
Last November, the California Coastal Commission approved a permit for a sprawling, $330 million seawater desalination facility in Marina—a blue-collar city of 22,500 residents that is located about 15 minutes north of the more affluent community of Monterey. If approved, Cal-Am’s desalination plant would produce 4.8 million gallons of freshwater per day and would be the first seawater desalination plant constructed in California in nearly a decade.
The plant is built on a 32ha site. Sponsored by the South Australian Government and SA Water, it is able to cover around 50% of Adelaide’s annual water supply by delivering up to 100gl of water each year.
The utility, equipped with reverse osmosis technology, will have a daily capacity of 570,000 cubic meter per day to supply 2 million people in the cities of Riyadh and Qassim once commercially operational in 2024.
According to the Capitol, the desalination plants can produce up to 20 million liters of potable water daily and expandable up to 50 million liters.
