Cal Am receives thumbs up from regulator for desal project application – Monterey, California, USA

The determination is not an approval of the project, rather an acknowledgment that the company has provided all the information needed to submit a fully fleshed out application. The entire project can go before the full commission as early as November.

Before Cal Am gets anywhere near project approval, it will have to contend with a host of challenges and likely litigation from several entities. On Wednesday, Rem Scherzinger, the general manager of the Marina Coast Water District, said his agency is facing significant potential impacts from the proposed desal plant.

He […]

Membrion receives DOE award for novel manufacturing of desalination membranes – Seattle, USA

Membrion announced today that it received a $1.1 million grant from the United States Department of Energy (DOE), Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO), through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The Phase II Award will support a two-year project to develop, implement, and optimize a machine vision system to provide real time analytics of Membrion’s roll-to-roll ceramic desalination membrane production line.

“Goal One of the Water Security Grand Challenge is to launch desalination technologies that deliver cost-competitive clean water. Membrion’s ceramic desalination membranes are doing just that,” said Greg Newbloom, founder and chief executive officer […]

Storing renewables with seawater batteries – Germany

The researchers described seawater storage systems as a derivative of rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (NIB), which offer a series of advantages in terms of raw material costs and safety. However, they also have limited ability to hold a charge after repeated cycles of charging and discharging.

“In addition, using other ion-selective membranes would enable elemental harvesting within the context of lithium extraction,” they said. “Alternatively, nonselective membranes would boost the performance in seawater because cations beyond sodium would be removed.”

They said seawater batteries could easily replace some seawater reverse-osmosis components and […]

Carlsbad Desal Plant Water Output Cut 20% to Conserve Power Amid Heat Wave – Carlsbad, California, USA

The Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant, which can produce up to 50 million gallons per day, typically accounts for about 1% of peak electricity demand in San Diego Gas & Electric’s service area.

Reducing water production will free up 9 megawatts, enough to power several thousand homes.

Efficiency on every level: Digital twins for desalination – Siemens

In desalination plants, such models can be used to optimize multiple operational KPIs and parameters, for example the consumption of energy and chemicals in relation to water output, production costs, and resource efficiency. Moreover, modeling can help identify optimal operation and cleaning parameters to maximize water output while preventing module failures.

Thus the model supports informed decision making and helps operators improve the overall operational effectiveness of desalination plants.

Water deliveries and desalination across Tonga as drought exhausts fresh water supplies – Oceania

So far, more than 20,000 litres of water has been desalinated and just over 14,000 litres of drinking water has been delivered to areas in need.

“We knew we had to desalinate sea water as the best option to provide drinking water to the people in the most affected areas,” Mr Maka said.

Political vendetta spoilt prospects of project on desalination plant in Villupuram: AIADMK – Chennai, India

“Preliminary work for the desalination plant to provide 60 MLD (million litres per day) water daily for 692 rural habitations besides urban areas commenced during the AIADMK rule. But, the project could not be implemented due to the regime change last year,” he said.

AIADMK district secretary and former Law Minister C Ve Shanmugam would lead the agitation at Tindivanam demanding immediate allocation of funds to recommence the project, he said.

Third Deep Water Well Helps Alleviate Shortage in Sistan – Iran

The first phase of a desalination plant in Nimruz County, Sistan-Baluchestan Province, was launched on Monday to help supply drinking water to the urban and rural areas of the region from the third deep water well drilled in the province, managing director of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.

“The desalination plant has started operating with a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters per day,” Alireza Qasemi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
