BMC Plans Upgrade For Colaba Sewage Treatment Plant After Desalination Fails To Attract Bidders – India
he BMC is shifting its focus to upgrading the Colaba Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in Mumbai after its previous attempt to build a desalination plant failed to attract bidders. Currently, the treated water from this STP is used for non-potable purposes such as gardening, road cleaning, and vehicle washing.
However, BMC plans to enhance the plant’s capacity to 15 million liters per day (MLD) and convert it into an advanced tertiary plant. This upgrade will enable the plant to treat sewage water, making it safe for drinking.
Every year, the city’s reliance […]
Metrowater to start replacing portion of reverse osmosis membranes in Nemmeli desalination plant by December – India
Chennai Metrowater is set to replace reverse osmosis (RO) membranes at the desalination plant in Nemmeli. The work is likely to start by the second week of December.
The desalination plant has a capacity to treat 110 million litres of seawater a day (mld). Currently, the plant produces nearly 60 mld of drinking water, which is supplied to the southern parts of the city. RO membranes are a crucial component in producing quality freshwater. The plant has 7,056 RO membranes, which are used for converting seawater into freshwater.

Alarming Water Levels at Lake Kournas – Greece
A striking example of the crisis is Lake Kournas near Georgioupoli in Chania, where water levels have dropped significantly to 2.2 metres from a maximum average of 7.5 metres. Aris Papadogiannis, CEO of the Development Organisation of Crete, expressed concern in an interview with ERT Chania. He remarked, “Lake Kournas has never been in such a state. This recurring hydrological deficiency over two years has drastically affected the local flora and fauna.”
Electrodialysis (ED) offers an alternative ion-removal method – India
The study showed that the SF-EDM process achieved a remarkable salinity reduction of over 90%, reaching 93% in the experimental trials. This efficiency was coupled with a total system water recovery rate of 90%, combining reverse osmosis and SF-EDM processes. The specific energy consumption ranged from 1 to 7 kWh/m³, indicating a favorable energy profile compared to traditional desalination methods.
A key finding was this method’s ability to selectively separate ions. It effectively distinguishes between monovalent and divalent ions, allowing sulfate and calcium to be separated into distinct concentrate streams. This selectivity is particularly important […]
