Desalination supplies remote SA community with safe water – Australia The Murputja Desalination Plant is supplying a third Indigenous community in South Australia’s Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands with safe drinking water. With Kanpi connecting to the local supply network, its community can now receive clean potable water. The solar and battery-powered 60kL capacity Murputja Desalination Plant treats water sourced from local bores, before it is piped through a total of around 12km of pipeline into homes and businesses across the three local communities.

Rethinking Wastewater Treatment for Better FGD Economics Since its introduction in the 1960s, electrodialysis (ED) technology has been adopted for a wide range of industrial applications, and today it is the second-most widely used membrane desalination technology. The traditional technology involves applying a direct-current electric field to flux positive ions across cation exchange membranes in one direction, and negative ions through anion exchange membranes in the opposite direction. More recently, it has benefited from an innovation that helps to keep the membranes cleaner by allowing the polarity […] Rethinking Wastewater Treatment for Better FGD EconomicsDME GmbH2020-06-01T15:09:18+02:00
