China makes desalination push to ease water scarcity – China China will invest in new desalination plants over the 2021-2025 period and raise capacity to 2.9 million tonnes a day in a bid to boost water supplies, the countryâs state planning agency said in a new âfive-year planâ for the sector. As much as 1.25 million tonnes per day of new capacity will be commissioned over the period, including 1.05 million tonnes in coastal cities and 200,000 tonnes in âisland regions,â the National Development and Reform Commission said on Wednesday.

Large desalination project starts running in north China – China SHIJIAZHUANG, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) â A large desalination project, capable of producing 10,000 tonnes of freshwater from seawater per day, started operations on Wednesday in Tangshan City, north Chinaâs Hebei Province. The thermal-membrane hybrid seawater desalination project, operated by Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., is hailed as an industrial breakthrough in the countryâs steel sector, a big consumer of water. The new project combines the âthermalâ and âmembraneâ approaches in seawater desalination: the former uses waste heat produced by factories to distill seawater, while the latter [âŠ] Large desalination project starts running in north China – ChinaHIWI042020-12-17T09:42:40+01:00
Senate legislation would expand COVID-19 projects with Israel to lessen dependence on China – Israel The Senate has introduced legislation to enhance partnerships between American and Israeli companies on COVID-19 projects, thus lessening U.S. dependence on China for life-saving medications and treatments. The bipartisan legislation was introduced on Wednesday as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, on a whirlwind eight-hour visit to Israel, criticized China while praising Israel. âYouâre a great partner,â Pompeo said in an appearance with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before their meeting in Jerusalem. âYou share your information, unlike some other countries that try and obfuscate and [âŠ] Senate legislation would expand COVID-19 projects with Israel to lessen dependence on China – IsraelHIWI042020-05-15T10:29:22+02:00
US said to question Chinaâs role in bid to construct Israeli desalination plant – United States US officials have questioned a China-tied companyâs bid to construct a new desalination plant in Israel and have expressed concerns over the possibility of it winning the tender, Axios reported Saturday. Hutchison Water International is one of two companies to have reached the final stage of the tender to build the Sorek B plant, set to be the largest desalination facility in the world, alongside IDE Technologies. Hutchison is owned by Hong Kong-based holding company CK Hutchison Holdings.

System achieves new level of efficiency in harnessing sunlight to make fresh potable water from seawater – Cambridge A completely passive solar-powered desalination system developed by researchers at MIT and in China could provide more than 1.5 gallons of fresh drinking water per hour for every square meter of solar collecting area. Such systems could potentially serve off-grid arid coastal areas to provide an efficient, low-cost water source. The system uses multiple layers of flat solar evaporators and condensers, lined up in a vertical array and topped with transparent aerogel insulation. It is described in a paper appearing today [âŠ] System achieves new level of efficiency in harnessing sunlight to make fresh potable water from seawater – CambridgeHIWI042020-03-13T15:29:54+01:00

Solar-powered desalination systems could bring water to disaster zones – Shanghai Itâs one of lifeâs most frustrating ironies that Earthâs surface is over 70 percent water, but most of that is undrinkable. Desalination is an important technology that may help unlock more drinking water, and now two independent teams have developed new types of solar-powered desalination systems using very different mechanisms. The first of the two new designs comes from researchers at MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The team says the multilayer system has an impressive overall efficiency of 385 percent, producing as much as 5.78 L [âŠ] Solar-powered desalination systems could bring water to disaster zones – ShanghaiHIWI042020-02-11T14:57:53+01:00
