Az Zour North facility is Kuwait’s first independent desalination plant and power station, accounting for up to 20% of the country’s desalination capacity and up to 10% of its energy capacity – Kuwait

A quick aerial view of the state of Kuwait brings one of the country’s most pressing challenges into sharp focus – meeting the water needs of a growing population in a landscape dominated by desert sands. In a recent study, the World Resources Institute ranked Kuwait among the top ten countries globally that are likely to face extremely high water stress by 2040. With average annual precipitation of just 121mm per year and no permanent rivers or lakes, it is no surprise that more than 90% of water for domestic and industrial needs and up to 60% of total […]

MIT suggests a different approach to reducing the rate of fouling – USA

…

The prevailing idea in the industry has been that the high pressure required by RO is responsible for the relatively high rate of fouling, compared to other systems such as forward osmosis. But the MIT study shows that this is not the case, a finding that opens up new approaches to reducing fouling in RO. The research, by Emily Tow ’12, SM ’14, PhD ’17 and MIT Professor John H. Lienhard V, was recently published in the Journal of Membrane Science and presented at the 2017 AMTA/AWWA Membrane Technology Conference, where it received the Student Best Paper Award.

Desalitech’s Closed Circuit Reverse Osmosis (CCRO) Germany – Köln

Lanxess adds CCRO module to its LewaPlus design software

Lanxess has added reverse osmosis (RO) and ion exchange (IX) system dimensioning capabilities to its LewaPlus software suite. The module provides system modeling with Desalitech’s Closed Circuit Reverse Osmosis (CCRO) technology and enables the dimensioning of RO systems, helping system designers bring their water treatment footprint closer to zero liquid discharge (ZLD) or minimum liquid discharge (MLD) goals. Reverse osmosis is used for the desalination and purification of water and is widely used, especially in areas of water stress such as the American West. The traditional reverse osmosis process is […]

Nickel Hexacyanoferrate Electrodes for Continuous Cation Intercalation Desalination of Brackish Water – USA – Illinois

Abstract:

Using porous electrodes containing redox-active nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) nanoparticles, we construct and test a device for electrochemical water desalination in a two flow-channel device where the electrodes are in direct contact with an anion-exchange membrane. Upon reduction of NiHCF, cations intercalate into it and the water in its vicinity is desalinated; at the same time water in the opposing electrode becomes more saline upon oxidation of NiHCF in that electrode. In a cyclic process of charge and discharge, fresh water is continuously produced, alternating between the two channels in sync with the direction of applied current. Compared to […]

Maintenance at Nemmeli desalination Plant will disrupted water supply for two days – India – Chennai

Water supply to parts of south Chennai will be disrupted on Thursday and Friday as the desalination plant in Nemmeli undergoes maintenance work.  Production at the plant, which has the capacity to treat and produce 100 million litre of water per day, will be stopped from 6am on October 12 till 6pm the next day. The areas that are likely to be affected are Adyar, Velachery, Besant Nagar, Sholinganallur, Injambakkam, Neelankarai, Kottivakkam, Perungudi, Palavakkam, Thiruvanmiyur, Mandaiveli and Mylapore….

2,3 Mio m³/d new desalination capacity in 2017 according to IDA/GWI report IWW reports – USA

…

In 2017, membrane technology accounted for 2.2 million cubic meters per day (95.6 percent) of annual contracted capacity while thermal processes accounted for just 0.1 million m3/day (4.4 percent) during the same period. Overall, the global desalination market continues to grow, marking the fourth year of continued growth following a slowdown in the mid-2000, according to data from the International Desalination Association and GWI. Between mid-2017 and mid-2016, cumulative global contracted capacity increased by 14 percent. Furthermore, the total number of desalination plants worldwide across all categories stands at 19,372 (2017) versus 18,983 (2016)….

KACARE corporation with Rosatom for nucleare desalination programm – Saudi Arabia – KSA

Russia state nuclear corporation, Rosatom, has agreed a programme for nuclear cooperation with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy. The programme provides for collaboration in several key areas, including work small and medium reactors for power generation and water desalination, and human resources development for Saudi Arabia’s nuclear programme. Russia and Saudi Arabia will also consider the advantages of construction of a Nuclear Science and Technology Centre based on the Russian-design research reactor in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Rosatom said. The agreement was signed 5 October in Moscow, during a visit of the King […]
