Commissioned by SWPC, the Jubail 3B plant will produce 570,000 m3/day of potable water using RO technology.
China has started construction of its first nuclear-powered steam supply project for industrial purpose to utilize heat generated by the nuclear power to convert desalinated sea water into clean, stable and efficient industrial steam and reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
According to CNNC, its Tianwan nuclear-powered project with a total investment of $108.4 million and construction period of 24 months, will be fully operational by the end of 2023.
New desalination plants, power stations, and pumping stations will also be built under the project.
Chennai MWSSB has begun work to lay pipelines to draw seawater and discharge brine from the upcoming third desalination plant at Nemmeli. The plant will have a capacity to treat 150 million litres of seawater a day (mld).
Over 50% of the construction of seawater intake sump, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and dissolved air flotation, in the plant has been completed so far.
The CMWSSB has laid cofferdams (a structure that enables work to lay pipelines for the desalination plant).
Egypt has already established 82 desalination plants with a combined capacity of 917,000 cubic metres per day.
Saad made his remarks following a meeting Thursday between Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and a number of ministers.
The importance of a desalination plant cannot be understated in locales such as the Florida, Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay Seawater Desalination facility is an alternative water supply providing up to 25 mgd of drinking water.
The plant is located in Apollo Beach, which withdraws and discharges up to 1.4 billion gallons a day for use as cooling water for the power plant.
EIB is eyeing desalination projects in Egypt, water sector expert at the EIB Walid Salem said this week.

These guide the use and sustainable conservation of oceans, seas, and marine resources.
Morocco is considered a pioneer in the field of renewable energy both on the African continent and in the Middle East region. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to see the kingdom pursuing its investments in clean solutions such as green hydrogen.
Produced entirely from renewable energy, one of the main advantages of green hydrogen is that it is non-intermittent, providing a constant supply of energy to a variety of industries including transport, power generation and industrial plants, and once processed, it can be stored as hydrocarbons or liquid, which is very convenient, as […]
Saudi Arabia has agreed to provide a one-billion-dollar investment guarantee to the federal government, which will be used to build a desalination plant in Karachi to address the city’s water supply problems.
