With the groundbreaking announcement of building Asia’s largest desalination plant, India not only attempts to mitigate its water scarcity problems but also sets a precedent for other nations to follow suit.
The desalination plants, constructed at a cost of Rs 1.60 Crores by BARC, will provide clean drinking water to forward-deployed troops and the border populace. The installation of this facility will not only eliminate the need for water tankers from distant sources but also save time and money. DeshGujarat

The estimated project cost of the 132 MW project is Rs 700 Crores. Torrent Power’s installed Renewable capacity is approximately 1.18 GW, and total power generation capacity of approximately 4.2 GW. With the signing of this 132 MW contract, Torrent now has 0.73 GW of Renewable capacity under different stages of development.
The WWTP will be designed to treat 4.0 million liters of challenging brine per day, to reach the optimal recovery rate and availability. IDE’s MAXH2O Desalter was chosen as the best solution for extracting quality product water from the mine’s drainage (reuse) in Rajasthan, India, while producing minimum final brine.
The MAXH2O Desalter is designed to treat varying wastewater qualities as it is, without any required modification. The excess precipitants removal is conducted by releasing sustainable reusable dry Pellets ~90% DS, without the need for a dewatering stage.

According to official sources, Puducherry is currently dependent on over 100 deep tube-wells in the urban and peripheral areas for the city’s day-to-day water needs. As many as 220 million litres of water are supplied through pipelines to overhead reservoirs located in the urban limits. With water being extracted for over 16 to 20 hours per day to meet the rising demand, the quality of water has started deteriorating over a period. As a result, various parameters such as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, nitrate, iron, and chloride have increased over the permissible levels.
Work on the city’s third desalination plant at Nemmeli has been accelerated, with construction of the remaining 200 metres of the pipeline that will be used to draw seawater, expected to be completed by this month end.
