The largest inland municipal desalination plant in Texas — the Kay Bailey Hutchison desalination plant in El Paso, with a design capacity of approximately 27.5 million gallons per day (30,800 acre-feet per year) — went into production in August 2007.
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.
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.Â
On February 3rd, 2023, Claus Mertes gave two successful lectures on the topic of “EPC in for desalination projects in practice” at the University of Dresden. The lectures were well attended and received positive feedback from the students and faculty.
Claus Mertes is an expert in the field of desalination and has extensive experience in managing EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects. During his lectures, he shared his practical insights and real-world examples to help the students understand the various aspects of EPC in desalination projects.
The students were especially impressed by […]
On this occasion, the company’s managers presented the technical studies for the project to implement a solar water desalination plant in southern Tunisia. This plant will have a production capacity of 200 million liters of water per day using solar energy and state-of-the-art technologies that meet current international standards.
For an envelope of 600 million dollars, this is the first project of its kind in Africa.
he Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant has served more than 100 billion gallons of water over the past seven years — a milestone reached in late October, the San Diego County Water Authority and plant owners announced Tuesday.
The plant, which produces 50 million gallons of drinking water daily, enough for 400,000 homes meeting 10% of San Diego County’s water demand, is the largest in the United States.
Floating Desalination Vessel is a floating infrastructure vessel equipped with seawater desalination equipment using reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, which removes impurities other than water, to produce fresh water (drinking water) and supply it to shore.
Compared to a seawater desalination plant on land, FDVs do not require the acquisition of land and is built by converting a used ship, so it offers advantages such as the ability to start water supply in a short time.
The plant, which is expected to produce 5 million gallons of drinking water per day, is the first desalination facility that the Coastal Commission has approved since more strict regulations were adopted in 2019.
The California Coastal Commission has approved a $140 million desalination plant, amidst an ongoing drought
