LAPSSET Authority to build Kshs 350 million desalination plant in Lamu – Kenya

The LAPSSET Authority has revealed plans to build a Sh 350 million desalination plant in Lamu by next year in a bid to alleviate poor water supply in the county. The desalination plant will be built and completed within 18 months after its launch next year, and is expected to supply at least 3,000 cubic metres of water daily once completed. LAPSSET Authority Director General Sylvester Kasuku made these remarks today in Lamu as he and Authority board members met Lamu County government officials. Kasuku said the authority is currently carrying out a study of where to locate the […]

Peru building Lima’s first desalination plant

A Spanish concessionaire began construction on Lima’s first desalination plant, part of President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s bid to increase public spending in water infrastructure. The 308mn-sol (US$95mn) Provisur project in Lima’s Santa María district will benefit 100,000 residents in four seaside districts on the southern outskirts of the capital, state water utility Sedapal said in a statement. The 24-month initiative involves the 400lt/sec desalination plant, 260km of piping, a 180lt/sec sewerage treatment plant and a 780m underwater discharge pipeline, according to Sedapal. The facility will cover the districts of Punta Hermosa, Punta Negra, San Bartolo and Santa María, which […]

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) approved a loan of $300 million for the establishment of a water desalination plant in Ain Sokhna – Egypt

… Mamish added that the new contract with EBRD is a result of his last visits to Germany and the U.K.“The loan will be allocated for the project’s feasibility study, the environmental studies and the implementation of the new plant,” Mamish revealed. According to Mamish, EBRD’s directors appreciated the SCZone, placing it among its priorities during the coming period. An alliance of five shipping lines that earlier this year had ceased East Port Said operations in protest of a hike in fees have agreed to return to the port, Mamish said. The SCZone’s head went to Germany for talks […]

Desalination plant increases production – Queensland – Austtalia

The Gold Coast Tugun Desalination Plant is increasing its production, while one of the Gold Coast’s traditional treatment plants is temporarily shut down. The Mudgeeraba water treatment plant has been temporarily shut down for critical infrastructure maintenance. Seqwater Acting Chief Executive Officer Jim Prus, said, “This is about being smart about how we use our water grid assets in the most effective and efficient way possible. “The desalination plant is the best option available to ensure the ongoing supply of a safe and reliable water supply while maintenance is conducted at the Mudgeeraba plant.”  The Gold Coast Desalination Plant […]

Erster Chinesischer Marine-Nuklearreaktor wird bis 2020 betriebsbereit sein

Die Provinz Hubei hat das technische Design für eine schwimmende Offshore-Nuklearanlage abgeschlossen und wird demnächst mit den Bauarbeiten beginnen. Der erste Marine-Reaktor in China soll somit bis zum Jahr 2020 ausgeliefert werden. Nukleare Offshore-Kraftwerke können mit einem Schiff jeweils dorthin transportiert werden, wo sie gebraucht werden. Sie können zudem für verschiedene Zwecke eingesetzt werden, dazu zählen das Betreiben von Bohrmaschinen für Offshore Öl- und Gasfelder, Stromerzeugung für die Versorgung auf Inseln sowie Beheizung und Entsalzung. Der Chargenbau für nukleare Offshore-Kraftwerke wird zu einem Markt führen, der in der nuklearen Energie-Industriekette Milliarden von Dollar wert sein könnte, so das „719“-Forschungsinstitut […]

Zille lauds management of Bitou’s desalination plant- Plettenberg Bay – South Africa

WESTERN Cape premier Helen Zille has lauded the design and management of Bitou’s desalination plant. She was in the area last Thursday to speak at the S-Cape Landowner’s Initiative’s Environmental Seminar 2017, and to inspect projects related to the Garden Route Rebuild Initiative. Talking about drought mitigation measures in Bitou, she said: “Roodefontein Dam is currently 72% full, and augmentation schemes in this municipality include equipping two new boreholes in Kurland, four in KwaNokuthula, and four in Uplands. “Drilling for these boreholes has already commenced, and we’re also planning two additional boreholes in Harkerville. After inspecting Plett’s desalination plant, […]

Conversion of Visible Light into Ionic Power Using Photoacid-Dye-Sensitized Bipolar Ion-Exchange Membranes

…

Here, we report a ∼60-fold increase in the photovoltage through use of a bipolar membrane structure consisting of a cation-exchange membrane affixed to an anion-exchange membrane. The junction between the layers was characterized in detail using electrochemistry, scanning electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis. Our results represent considerable progress toward a device that directly converts sunlight into ionic electricity, which has implications for direct solar desalination of salt water. …

Introduction

It has been over three-quarters of a century since the discovery of the semiconductor pn-junction diode, […]
