Court asked to nix IDE-Hutchison Sorek B desalination bid – Kansas 4A Desalination Group, which is competing in the tender for construction of the Sorek B desalination plant, today petitioned the Jerusalem District Court to disqualify IDE and Hutchison from participation in the tender. A public committee headed by Ministry of National Infrastructure, Energy, and Water Resources director general Ehud (Udi) Adiri suspected fraud in the operation of the Sorek A desalination plant. IDE and Hutchison were part owners of the plant. The committee was formed following a report by „Globes“ that […] Court asked to nix IDE-Hutchison Sorek B desalination bid – KansasDME GmbH2019-09-27T02:01:00+02:00
Rice to play critical role in $100M DOE desalination hub – United States Rice is a partner in the National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI), a consortium that won a five-year, $100 million Department of Energy award to establish an Energy-Water Desalination Hub that addresses U.S. water security issues. NAWI, which includes four national laboratories, 19 universities and 10 industry partners and more than 200 affiliates, is led by and headquartered at DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California.NAWI will focus on early-stage research and development for energy-efficient and cost-competitive desalination technologies and for treating nontraditional water sources for […] Rice to play critical role in $100M DOE desalination hub – United StatesDME GmbH2019-09-25T15:47:40+02:00
Feds award $100 million to Lawrence Berkeley-led consortium to tap tech for water desalination – California Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory won a five-year, $100 million award to serve as a Department of Energy hub to look at „water security“ issues, including energy-efficient and cost-effective desalination technologies. The money, some of which still must be appropriated by Congress, also includes research into treating nontraditional water sources for a variety of uses. The award to the National Alliance for Water Innovation led by the Energy Department’s Berkeley Lab and including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the National Renewable Energy […] Feds award $100 million to Lawrence Berkeley-led consortium to tap tech for water desalination – CaliforniaDME GmbH2019-09-24T15:49:08+02:00
Seawater Desalination: A Solution Water Shortage: AMPAC USA – America AMPAC USA works in designing and manufacturing some of the best seawater desalination equipment for a variety of operations. But does that answer all the water woes at once? Lately, one has been hearing nothing but shortages and depleting resources. Countries in Africa, South America, Asia and a few parts of North America are facing a very bad and gruesome problem of the water crisis. Over a thousand children go every day without a single drop of water, Cape Town and several […] Seawater Desalination: A Solution Water Shortage: AMPAC USA – AmericaDME GmbH2019-09-07T15:46:23+02:00
Coastal Bend desalination plant closer to reality – Texas After decades of talk, it looks like desalination is the wave of the future for the city’s water supply; and with time to spare. The Corpus Christi City Council approved a plan Tuesday which will determine when the city will need to have a alternate water supply. The plan also moves the city forward with plans for a saltwater desalination plant. If everything goes according to plan, a desal plant could be up-and-running either somewhere along the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, or […] Coastal Bend desalination plant closer to reality – TexasDME GmbH2019-08-29T14:41:29+02:00
Rising sea threatens South Florida’s drinking water and region’s economy – Florida You grab the last box, freshly packed with life’s memories. As you drive toward the highway, you pass the ruins of what used to be the city you made a home. The downtown is now a ghost town. Your company has laid you off because all the offices are being forced to close. You must leave the city that you love. Why? The city that floods almost every day no longer has fresh drinking water. Unfortunately, this scenario might become a […] Rising sea threatens South Florida’s drinking water and region’s economy – FloridaDME GmbH2019-08-26T14:57:16+02:00
California Focus: Desalination loses more urgency in hyper-wet winter – California Desalination began to lose its urgency among Californians and their public officials two years ago, after the drought-busting winter of 2016-17, when heavy rain and snow ended dry conditions in most of the state. The idea of drawing potable water from the sea became even less of a priority this year, when an autumn of record-level fires gave way to one of the state’s wettest winters on record. (LINK).

Expert cautions developing countries over water desalination plants – San Diego A water expert is cautioning developing countries over the establishment of water desalination plants as a means of providing potable water to the populace. Jeremy Crutchfield of the San Diego County Water Authority in the USA says desalination (the treatment of seawater through the removal of salt) is a very expensive process because of the high cost of operation including the vast amount of electricity needed to operate such plants. Water companies would usually establish treatment plants along rivers and streams which […] Expert cautions developing countries over water desalination plants – San DiegoDME GmbH2019-08-16T11:45:40+02:00
