Cannon Artes wins contract to build massive Egypt desalination plant – Egypt

The plant will be fed with water from the Red Sea and will be treated to provide high-purity demineralised water to feed high-pressure steam boilers as well as low-salinity make-up water for cooling towers.

It will occupy an area of 714m2 – like a football stadium – with an overall capacity of 30,000 cu m/day, stated Punzo.

The challenges facing desal plants in Chile’s north

Currently there are 24 desalination plants in operation in Chile with combined capacity of 8,000 liters per second (l/s), with 75% of production going to the mining industry, according to the country’s desalination association ACADES.

Capacity is expected to increase to 10,000l/s by the end of this year, and could reach 40,000l/s by the end of the decade.
