Assurance over drinking water supplies as desalination unit planned for Sizewell C – United Kingdom A temporary desalination plant will have to be installed to provide enough water during the construction of Sizewell C if the ÂŁ20billion nuclear power plant gets the go-ahead. Consultation is under way on the plans for the unit, which would take sea water and remove the salt to create drinking quality water, because water companies cannot guarantee supplies. But opponents of the power project say until the desalination plant is ready it will mean 40 more trucks a day visiting the site to deliver potable water.

Campaigners condemn plans for New Forest desalination plant – United Kingdom Southern Waterâs proposal for a ÂŁ600m plant at Fawley to convert saltwater from the Solent into tap water during droughts has been formally opposed by the New Forest national park authority. A separate petition against the plan, which the water company said it would enable it to extract less water from ecologically sensitive chalk streams such as the Test and the Itchen, has attracted several thousand signatures. Residents objecting to the plant say that it is a âbizarreâ and âexpensiveâ solution for projected water shortages in southern England, [âŠ] Campaigners condemn plans for New Forest desalination plant – United KingdomHIWI042021-05-05T16:54:47+02:00
NFDC say Fawley water plant plan would be bad for area – United Kingdom PLANS to build a ÂŁ600m desalination plant near Fawley have faced opposition from New Forest District Council As reported in the A&T, the facility at Ashlett Creek, which would process 75 million litres of seawater into drinking water every day, would also see a 25km pipeline built to Testwood in Totton.

Desalinating water with mobile solar-powered devices – United Kingdom Researchers from the University of Bath have developed a new desalination process that could become an ideal solution for remote locations affected by natural disasters. The research team has developed a prototype of a 3D-printed desalination system that is driven by AC electricity. They describe it as a low-energy system with no moving parts. The system combines cationic diodes based on Nafion ionomer-coated microhole array substrates with an anion conducting membrane. Nafion is a synthetic polymer with ionic properties that is [âŠ] Desalinating water with mobile solar-powered devices – United KingdomHIWI042020-03-10T15:31:09+01:00
Neom to Adopt Unique âSolar Domeâ Desalination Plant – United Kingdom The Neom smart-city project will use cutting-edge solar technology to power a desalination plant that produces clean, low-cost, environmentally friendly freshwater. The decision aims to enhance the megacityâs position as a new global tourism destination, a center of innovation and environmental conservation, and as an accelerator of human progress. Neom signed an agreement with UK business Solar Water Limited to build a desalination plant in the northwest of the Kingdom that uses the newly developed âsolar domeâ technology.
