Gold Coast Tugun Desalination Plant increases production – Australia … 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 (GCDP) will produce up to 60 million litres of drinking water per day to supply more than 170,000 residents on […] Gold Coast Tugun Desalination Plant increases production – AustraliaDME GmbH2017-08-21T09:28:38+02:00
Tender to produce extra 500Ml of water for Cape Town – South Africa … “Our intent is to both drive down collective usage to 500Ml per day and to ensure that there is always at 500Ml/day of water in production,” Mayor Patricia de Lille told reporters on Thursday. She said the city had decided to take the most pessimistic view of the drought, and hoped to have the first desalination plant on line by the end of October. The city had reduced water consumption from around 1000Ml a day in the past year to the latest figure of 610Ml a day. This was still too much, given the poor prospects of […] Tender to produce extra 500Ml of water for Cape Town – South AfricaDME GmbH2017-08-21T09:25:00+02:00

Morocco will build a seawater desalination plant in the Casablanca-Settat region … The feasibility study and the institutional set-up of the project are currently being finalised, Charafate Afailal, secretary of state for water, was quoted as saying in a Morocco World News report. “With increasing demand and insufficient local resources, the only recourse to reduce the deficit in industrial or agricultural drinking water is desalination of seawater,” he said. The studies carried out to date show that the average volumes of water that could be desalinated by 2030 to ensure the supply of drinking water are estimated at almost 425 million cu m, the report said.

Zu viel Nitrat: Trinkwasser könnte teurer werden – heute.de …. 3. Verfahren, um Nitrat zu entfernen Verschiedene hochtechnische Verfahren sind die letzte Möglichkeit, um Nitrat aus dem Grundwasser zu entfernen. Die sogenannte Denitrifizierung kann mit Hilfe einer Umkehrosmose, einer Aktivkohle-Absorption oder einer Ozon-Oxidation durchgeführt werden. Das allerdings hat seinen Preis. Zusatzkosten von bis zu 76 Cent pro Kubikmeter Trinkwasser kämen auf den Verbraucher zu. …. (LINK) Zu viel Nitrat: Trinkwasser könnte teurer werden – heute.deDME GmbH2017-08-16T15:54:03+02:00
Graphene Membrane Withstands Ultrahigh Pressure, Shows Desalination Potential … Rohit Karnik, an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Department of Engineering, said the discovery could open graphene to a number of new applications, including desalination, where filtration membranes that can withstand high-pressure flows can more efficiently remove salt from seawater. “This is a fundamental study at this point, and what it shows is the possibility that one can design graphene membranes that can withstand high pressures,” Karnik said during an exclusive interview with R&D Magazine. . “This in itself doesn’t immediately lead to any application but it is basically a demonstration that you can design […] Graphene Membrane Withstands Ultrahigh Pressure, Shows Desalination PotentialDME GmbH2017-07-28T18:38:57+02:00
Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA), is taking on the challenge with smart water-storage tanks and utility tracking software … SEWA aims to increase the availability of fresh water from 50 million gallons to 500 million gallons per day over the next five years and save 17 million gallons of water per day from being wasted. Going With the Flow – The utility’s water-storage system consists of numerous tanks fitted with sensors that analyze the levels and quality of fresh water. Signals are sent from the sensors via digital transmitters to an online instrumentation panel, which pumps chemicals into the tank to treat the water for impurities. The final product is pumped into clean water tanks, fed […] Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA), is taking on the challenge with smart water-storage tanks and utility tracking softwareDME GmbH2017-07-28T18:29:45+02:00
