Italy eases environmental standards to help desalination plant construction

A “drought” decree, adopted in March 2023 by the Italian government, provides for the easing of regulations surrounding the construction of desalinators. Below a production rate of 200 liters per second, these facilities will no longer be subject to an environmental impact assessment. Only the criterion of having a proven water shortage in the area they are to serve will be maintained. Meanwhile, the will no longer be a need for distribution network optimization.

The Danfoss compact solution saves energy use – Italy

Danfoss high-pressure pumps and compact and powerful drives are at the heart of a SWRO modular desalination plant used by the Sarlux refinery in Sardinia, Italy.

Their installation has resulted in reduced energy consumption and made maintenance much easier.

The process of seawater desalination is intrinsically energy intensive. Therefore, operating costs related to electricity consumption are very significant and directly impact the sustainability and profitability of a desalination plant.

Experimental desalination&solar facility inaugurated Borg El Arab – Egypt

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 [
