The facility is nestled in a 3.5-hectare property in the barangays of Poblacion, Buagsong and Catarman in the Municipality of Cordova, Cebu.
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.
With a capacity of 300 million cubic meters and a huge financial package of 1.1 billion US dollars, this project is the result of cooperation between several sectors: energy, water and the environment.
These separation processes take a substantial amount of energy, accounting for roughly half of U.S. industrial energy use. Traditionally, molecular separations have relied on methods that require intensive heating and cooling that make them very energy inefficient.
CEBU CITY—Residents of Mactan Island in Cebu province will become water sufficient by early next year as the P2-billion Cordova Desalination Plant (CDP), the first in the country to use the technology to convert seawater into potable water on a large scale, will start its commercial operation.
The solar power plant, powered by Vertex N 700W+ series solar PV modules supplied by China’s Trina Solar, was integrated into the grid by its contractor SEPCOIII, Trina Solar said in a press statement.
The solar PV station will meet 20 percent of the desalination plant’s daily power requirements and curtail carbon emissions by 60,000 tonnes annually.
Chennai’s fourth desalination plant will come up in Perur on East Coast Road. To be built by the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) with funding support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the project’s estimated cost is Rs 4,276.44 crore.
The water purification plant was jointly inaugurated by Ravi Gandhi, IG BSF Gujarat Frontier and Dr K.T. Shenoy, Director, Chemical Engg Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).
The desalination plant built at a cost of Rs 1.60 Crores by BARC will provide clean drinking water to forward-deployed troops and the border population.
