The company says its new location is Europeâs largest center for production, engineering and research & development of ceramic filtration technology, enabling an annual supply of CFMs to treat 3,000,000 mÂł/d of water and wastewater. Filtration modules for projects totaling 200,000 mÂł/d capacity are already produced and stocked for immediate shipment.
Berlin-based Boreal Light has developed water desalination tech powered by PV for off-grid applications. The solution uses 460 W solar panels from Chinese module manufacturer DAH Solar and produces clean water from direct seawater at a cost of âŹ0.50 ($0.54)/m3.
The researchers described seawater storage systems as a derivative of rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (NIB), which offer a series of advantages in terms of raw material costs and safety. However, they also have limited ability to hold a charge after repeated cycles of charging and discharging.
âIn addition, using other ion-selective membranes would enable elemental harvesting within the context of lithium extraction,â they said. âAlternatively, nonselective membranes would boost the performance in seawater because cations beyond sodium would be removed.â
They said seawater batteries could easily replace some seawater reverse-osmosis components and [âŠ]
German industrial group Butting has been commissioned to supply a modular, prefabricated desalination plant for Israel that can produce 200,000 cubic metres of drinking water from the Mediterranean a year.
The Multipurpose Applications by Thermodynamic Solar (MATS) plant in Borg El Arab, Egypt has been inaugurated. A research and development initiative aimed at advancing solar energy technology in Egypt and the Middle East, the project was led by a consortium of 11 partners from Italy, France, Egypt, Germany, and the UK, Orascom Construction said in a statement. According to the company, it participated in the funding and the construction of the project. The European Union reportedly co-financed the initiative. The MAT plant comprises an integrated concentrated solar power (CSP) and water desalination facility that can serve a community [âŠ]
