LG Chem will supply some 30,000 reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to a joint desalination plant led by two Israeli companies — Shapir Engineering and Industry and Global Environmental Solutions Ltd. — currently under construction on the Mediterranean coastal city of Ashdod, the Seoul-based chemicals producer said in a release.
The facility is one of the five largest desalination plants in Israel, with a production capacity of 336,000 m3/day, accounting for nearly one sixth of the total 600 million m3/year volume of desalinated water produced in the country. Shapir and GES will add a 150 MW power plant and operate the facility as an independent power producer to supply the power needed for plant operations.
Desalination in Rodrigues is now moving into its execution phase at Caverne-Bouteille, where the unit will produce 80 m 3 of water per day for 60 kw of solar panels.
“ It’s a way of getting new ideas across to produce and consume clean energy. I’ve always wanted to use solar energy to desalinate seawater ,” explained Gilles Huberson. He added that he hopes that, in the near future, the three other desalination units will also be able to run on solar energy, in order to supply some 240 m 3 of water per day. “Which will be a good example for Rodrigues.”
THE Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) is set to implement a P100 million pipe-laying project in preparation for the additional 75,000 cubic meters of water supply from the desalination plants in Cordova town, and Barangays Marigondon and Canjulao in Lapu-Lapu City.
Solar-powered desalination technology company GivePower is set to receive Sh410.5 million in funding from American tech firm ServiceNow to provide its water farm technology to four counties in Kenya.
According to Orano Mining’s managing director Tommie Gouws, EDP has the capacity to produce 20 million cubic metres of water per year, with the existing infra- structure allowing for expansion up to 25 million cubic metres and the potential to further expand to 45 million cubic metres.
LAS CRUCES – Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland stopped in Las Cruces Wednesday to announce $12.6 million in funding for a new desalination research facility in Alamogordo, which will address the area’s PFAS contamination (Per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances).
(MENAFN– Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 29. In order to solve the problem of potable water in Kazakhstan’s Mangystau region, it is planned to build 9 seawater desalination plants with an estimated cost of more than 247 billion Kazakh tenge ($541.4 million), Deputy Chairman of the Kazakh Construction and Housing-Communal Services Affairs Committee Azimbek Pazylbekuly said, trend reports via the Kazakh media.
According to him, in 2025, the shortage of drinking water in the Mangystau region may amount to 100,000-110,000 cubic meters per day.
LAS CRUCES – Remove salt to make drinkable, usable water – that’s the mission for a federally-owned desalination research facility in Alamogordo. The Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility or BGNDRF (big-EN-dorf) grants space for companies, government agencies and researchers to pilot-test their new processes for treating with variable salinity.
