Once again, Rodrigues is setting an example in terms of ecology. On Saturday, June 22, the Hotel Les Cocotiers inaugurated a desalination station that runs solely on solar energy. It is the first hotel in the world to be supplied with drinking water in this way.
The seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant includes a water distribution network, and is a part of the Jafurah gas development scheme.
The project has a design capacity of 80,000 cubic meters a day, and includes power and utility facilities, according to a MEED report.
It also contains an extensive water distribution network component, identified to extend 200 km.
By 2023, the plant is expected to have a power capacity of 270-320 megawatts.
The desalination plant produces an average of more than 50 million gallons of water daily, meeting the needs of 400,000 people in San Diego County.
In the initial phase of the project, WIFA would provide a long-term commitment on behalf of the state to purchase 300,000 acre feet per year of treated water that could increase to up to 1 million acre feet annually in subsequent phases.
Another official said Chennai’s water demand stood at 1,400 MLD while the supply was 1,060 MLD. To bridge this gap, it was imperative to identify additional sources. That is why the third desalination project is being carried out in Nemmeli.
“Currently, the water desalination facilities in the southern province produce 45,000 cubic meters of freshwater per day and when the new projects are completed, the figure will reach about 100,000 cubic meters per day by the end of the current Iranian year (March 2023),” Majid Aqazadeh was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal.
Mumbai at present gets its daily intake water from seven lakes. Their catchment areas are filled during monsoon, following which, water is being supplied across the city through pipelines. Though the city has a demand for 4,400 millions of litres per day (MLD) of water daily, BMC can only supply around 3,800 MLD — a shortfall of 500-600 MLD.
the first of its kind in the African region which will make it possible to produce nearly 200,000 cubic meters of water per day, using solar energy and advanced technologies that meet international standards in force, announces a press release from the Ministry of the Economy. and planning.
Iraq’s Minister of Construction has signed a grant agreement to finance the Al-Khader and Al-Daraji water desalination project in Al-Muthanna Governorate
Mr. Benkin Rikani signed the agreement with the Director of the German Development Bank KFW, Dr. Anna-Christine Janke, and the grant will be provided by the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
The project has a design capacity of 1500 m3 (per day)
The plant has started producing drinking water at 25 % of its capacity and is successfully meeting the quality parameters specified in the contract.
It will have a total capacity of 600,000 m3/day, the same as Rabigh 3, the largest desalination plant in commercial operation using reverse osmosis technology in Saudi Arabia, also developed by Abengoa.
It will also be the world’s largest desalination plant to be partially powered by solar photovoltaic renewable energy.
