Hitachi and Toray to implement Saudi seawater RO demonstration project

Japanese companies Hitachi Ltd and Toray Industries Inc have been commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to implement a demonstration project for an energy-saving seawater reverse osmosis (RO) system in Saudi Arabia.

…
„A low pressure multi-stage high recovery seawater RO system developed by Hitachi and low-pressure seawater RO membranes developed by Toray will be used. The RO system features RO membrane vessels installed in multiple stages, which ienables control of the flow rate and pressure of the feed-water. This maximizes the performance of the RO membranes, ensuring high efficiency. An energy recovery device will reduce […]

Water storage drops in Melbourne

Melburnians are being asked to watch their water use as new figures from Melbourne Water show dam levels fell by 64 billion litres (3.5 per cent of capacity) during the 2017/18 summer. Despite rainfall around 27 per cent above average during summer 2017/18, an extremely dry February in 2018 and an increase in water use had seen storages dip over the season. Melbourne Water General Manager, Integrated Planning, Chris Williams, said storage levels were declining. “We have had a particularly dry February (2018) and when combined with slightly higher water usage, we have seen an impact on our storage […]

Cairo calls on Egyptian expats for water advice

….

Chief among the recommendations proposed at the closing session were encouraging the media to spread water awareness among the population, expanding the use of unconventional water resources, for example, desalinated seawater and treated wastewater, and supporting water-related projects and technologies. Noor Ahmed Abdel Moneim, an expert on strategic water management, backed the proposals. “The recommendations are good, especially those related to developing water awareness among citizens,” Abdel Moneim told Al-Monitor. “It is also necessary to develop the water desalination mechanisms currently in place, increase the use of groundwater and ration water use in water-consuming agriculture, such as […]

Egyptian government negotiating with Schneider Electric and Seven Seas Water on desalination plants

Khaled Kamel, vice president of energy and export at Schneider Electric’s Egypt and North East Africa office, told Daily News Egypt that the proposed desalination plants will be implemented over several stages, starting with a capacity of 300 cubic metres of water per day. He added that Seven Seas will secure the required funding for the projects and sell the desalinated water to the government for 20 years. Kamel added that the American company offered to sell desalinated water at EGP 17 per cubic metre, but the government asserted that the maximum acceptable rate is EGP 5. The two […]
