Air gap membrane distillation unit operated by thermoelectric module – KSA

The innovative TEM-AGMD technology combines membrane distillation with thermoelectric modules, allowing for the elimination of numerous components found in traditional MD systems. This compact and energy-efficient approach enables decentralized water treatment and desalination with excellent salt rejection and minimal power consumption. Optimal performance is achieved by increasing the number of thermoelectric modules, implementing multi-stage membrane distillation, and intensifying the feed flow rate. The TEM-AGMD technology shows great potential for developing hybrid systems for decentralized water treatment and desalination, achieving a minimal specific energy consumption of 962 kWh/m³.

The principle behind this „thermos“ desalination device lies in its use of a special graphene oxide membrane – China

At the 2023 Shanghai Science and Technology Awards, a project led by researchers from East China University of Science and Technology received the First Prize in Natural Science for advancing desalination technology. Their innovation, a portable desalination device using a graphene oxide membrane, allows seawater to be efficiently converted into fresh water. The graphene-based membrane operates by blocking salt ions while letting water molecules pass through, achieving 15 times the water flux of conventional membranes. Recognized in the Shanghai Green Technology Directory, this device offers a significant leap in sustainable water purification solutions.

Seawater Desalination System to Address Water Supply Issues in Sabah – Borneo

Jetama Sdn Bhd (JSB), a subsidiary of Sabah Development Berhad (SDB) under the State Ministry of Finance, is leading efforts to tackle water supply challenges in Sabah with a new seawater desalination system.

Showcased at the Conference of the ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organizations (CAFEO 42), held from October 22 to 24 at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), the system can desalinate seawater into reverse osmosis (RO) water suitable for industrial use. Through this innovative solution, treated industrial water can be redirected to local communities to ease domestic water shortages.

Axarquía desalination plant output will be shared equally between agricutural and domestic supply – Spain

The Axarquía desalination plant, costing 100 million euros, is set to split its output equally between agriculture and domestic supply. Managed by the state-owned Acuamed, the project advances largely due to user-driven demand rather than governmental speed, with 2028 as the earliest anticipated commissioning date. The Junta de Andalucía and Vélez-Málaga town hall have proposed a site near the coast, though expropriation is required from six landowners. Once operational, the plant will supply 12 cubic hectometres per year each for agricultural and household use, vital for addressing the region’s ongoing drought challenges.

Seawater Desalination Brine Is a Hidden Source of Essential Raw Materials – EU

The EU-supported Sea4Value project aims to extract critical minerals like lithium, scandium, and magnesium from desalination brine, essential for renewable energy, electronics, and advanced manufacturing. This innovative process uses a modular brine mining method to recover ten valuable minerals, reducing Europe’s dependency on imports. The project will validate extraction technologies in labs, then implement a mobile lab in Mediterranean and Atlantic desalination plants to test scalability and environmental benefits. By mining desalination brines, Sea4Value offers a sustainable solution to supply shortages and resource efficiency.

Desalination at Reculver (Kent) – UK

Our strategy is closely aligned with the regional plan developed by Water Resources South East (WRSE), focused on securing water resources and distribution for a growing population across the South East region for the next 50 years.

Both plans provide a framework to meet increased water demand, achieved by reducing consumption and leakage, alongside significant investments in new infrastructure.

This comprehensive regional solution will secure the necessary water supply to protect the environment, enhance resilience, and support sustainable growth for the region.

Key actions include:

    Energy Recovery secures $12M in UAE desalination deals – UAE

    Energy Recovery (NASDAQ) has secured over $12 million in contracts to supply PX Pressure Exchanger devices for three seawater desalination projects in the UAE. The projects will create nearly 1 million cubic meters of desalination capacity per day, with one involving a floating desalination barge in the Arabian Gulf. This offshore solution addresses the lack of coastal land and offers an innovative approach for water-scarce regions.

    Four new desalination units in the works to combat water shortage – Philippines

    The Water Development Department has announced plans to address water supply issues in Limassol and Paphos, officials told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday.

    The strategy includes four new mobile desalination units nearing final design stages, as well as two permanent units slated for Limassol and Larnaca. Existing facilities are also set for expansion to combat potential water cuts following recent years of drought.

    Kiewit to build Inner Harbor desalination plant in Texas – USA

    The City of Corpus Christi,a coastal city in the South Texas region of the U.S. state of Texas, has selected Kiewit Infrastructure South Co. to lead the design and construction of its first-ever desalination facility, the Inner Harbor Seawater Desalination Treatment Plant.

    “This is a significant milestone, one of the most important for the community, as it demonstrates our commitment to securing additional water resources for Corpus Christi and the surrounding areas,“ said City Manager Peter Zanoni.

    Desalination measures set to tackle Cyprus’ water shortage – Cyprus

    “It is important for Cyprus to proceed with purchase of its own mobile desalination units since the problem of drought will not be going away,” the minister added.

    Water in the island’s reservoirs, mainly used for irrigation, now stands at a critical 27 per cent full, Water Development Department head George Kazantzis said on Sunday.

    Currently the established plants are running at their maximum capacity. During the 2018 drought, Cyprus had also used additional mobile desalination as a stopgap measure, using leased units.
