The Al-Faw power and water desalination plant will be built with a capacity to produce 3,000 megawatts of power and 1,250,000 cubic meters of desalinated water per day, according to the deal with state-owned Shanghai Electricity.
The state government has planned to set up at least four desalination plants, with the first one in Srikakulam district.
The project is estimated to cost around 400 crore.
“With a capacity of 5,000 cubic meters per day, the facility will be completed in nine months by the private sector group Tana Energy,” the Energy Ministry’s news portal Pavenalso quoted Abdolhamid Hamzehpour as saying.
The new plant, estimated to cost $10 million, is expected to supply 23,000 people in the rural district with tap water, he added.
The contracts include a 22 MLD Desalination Plant at Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd, in Chennai, where seawater is made usable for the refinery. Similarly, the second contract won is at Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd Vizag Refinery for the Operation and Maintenance of their new Desalination Plant which is currently being commissioned at Vizag.
The new plant will reduce its freshwater intake. The third contract is an SWRO plant at Nuclear Power Corporation of India’s Kudankulam facility, which is in the southern part of Tamil Nadu.
Alfanar has revealed plans to set up a ground-mounted PV project to provide power to the Al Jubail 2 water desalination plant on the east coast of Saudi Arabia. It will require an investment of SAR 1.2 billion ($319 million).
The Jubail plant is one of the largest desalination plants in the world, with a production capacity of 1 million cubic meters of water per day. PV is expected to provide electricity to the plant at a lower consumption rate of 2.16 kWh/m3.
Saudi Arabia’s cumulative installed PV capacity reached 439 MW […]
NEOM, Saudi Arabia’s smart and sustainable city, saw the submission of nine contractors for the design-and-build contract of a water transmission project that will link the desalination plant in Oxagon to the town of Gayal in Tabuk, MEED reported.
The water transmission pipeline extends 100 kilometers, with a diameter of 2 meters.
Regional water company Águas do Algarve has already confirmed that it will increase the volume of treated wastewater meant to be reused to eight million cubic metres by the end of 2025.
“We visited a (desalination) plant in Alicante (Spain) where the brine is released hundreds of metres away from a protected marine area which is closely followed by the European community and by several environmental ONGs and things have gone well,” he said.
German start-up Boreal Light has just delivered 28 solar-powered desalination systems to Kenya. The systems are intended for hospitals treating daily Covid-19 cases in the coastal region of the country, as well as Turkana and Nakuru counties.
In addition to the supply of drinking water, Boreal Light’s objective is to contribute to the fight against Covid-19 in Kenyan hospitals by providing enough water for sanitation, including hand washing. According to Andrew Tuimur, just 22.8% of Kenyans have limited sanitation services and 40% use unimproved services.
The Saline Water Conversion Corp. has awarded Alfanar a 110 MW solar photovoltaic power plant project, which will be a part of a floating solar panel system. The project, expected to cost $330mn, also includes a 380 kV substation and 172 kms of overhead transmission lines.
The solar plant will play a critical role in powering the desalination plant with renewable energy, thereby reducing the use of 410,000 barrels of crude oil per year.
This is expected to result in the cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 155 megatonnes annually and reducing […]
