Israel: launch of the project for the largest water desalination plant in the world – Israel

The Sorek 2 project, the largest water desalination plant in the world, is on the starting line, and already seven companies, including four foreign ones, have registered for a preliminary call for tenders to put this ambitious project in place. This plant, which should start operating in eight years, will desalinate 200 million cubic meters of seawater per year. With the other desalination plants already present in the country, Israel will in future be able to produce 85% of its annual drinking water consumption.

Israel may need to boost its desal capacity by 650%

With the population projected to rise from 9.5 million in 2022 to between 15 and 25 million by 2065, the country would still need to virtually quadruple its desalination capacity, even if population growth slows from more than 2.0% to 0.8%.

Israel to build a $5.5 billion desalination plant for Arizona

An Israeli company is to build a $5.5 billion desalination plant in Mexico, to supply the US state of Arizona with drinking water. 

The desalination plant will be connected to a water distribution facility and reservoir in Arizona through a 1,000 ft-long series of pumps and pipes. It will draw water from the Sea of Cortez, desalinate it, and provide up to one billion cubic meters a year to Arizona.

Egypt’s Red Sea resort that’s making waves

As I sat under the welcome shade of a cluster of palm trees, my gaze drifted over the calm waters of the lagoon ahead of me – and was caught by a line of neatly labelled terracotta rubbish bins.

To be honest, when I’d imagined my trip to Egypt’s Red Sea region, I’d pictured swimming in warm, crystal-clear waters and discovering vibrant coral reefs surrounded by brightly coloured fish.

And though I was able to do all of that, it was not the marine beauty that captivated me the most, but rather [

Acciona depoys satellites to study seawater quality for desal plants 

Spanish infrastructure major Acciona has developed a predictive model for seawater quality that is improving the operation of SWRO plants in the region.

A leading operator of desalination plants in the Middle East, Acciona said this predictive model uses satellite measurements and Artificial Intelligence tools to forecast the quality of water reaching desalination plants.

Algae bloom, oil spills and jellyfish are just some of the phenomena that can clog the filtering systems of desalination plants and cause operations to shut down.

But with sufficient warning, [

Egypt to build desalination plant in Iraq

An Egyptian delegation of water treatment experts visited Iraq this month for talks with Iraqi officials on addressing an acute water crisis in the Arab country.

The Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources said June 20 that the Egyptian delegation discussed a proposal for building a water desalination plant on the Euphrates River.

The station will be used to purify and desalinate seawater to help ease water shortages in southern Iraq.
