Cal Am receives thumbs up from regulator for desal project application – Monterey, California, USA

The determination is not an approval of the project, rather an acknowledgment that the company has provided all the information needed to submit a fully fleshed out application. The entire project can go before the full commission as early as November.

Before Cal Am gets anywhere near project approval, it will have to contend with a host of challenges and likely litigation from several entities. On Wednesday, Rem Scherzinger, the general manager of the Marina Coast Water District, said his agency is facing significant potential impacts from the proposed desal plant.

Membrion receives DOE award for novel manufacturing of desalination membranes – Seattle, USA

Membrion announced today that it received a $1.1 million grant from the United States Department of Energy (DOE), Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO), through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The Phase II Award will support a two-year project to develop, implement, and optimize a machine vision system to provide real time analytics of Membrion’s roll-to-roll ceramic desalination membrane production line.

“Goal One of the Water Security Grand Challenge is to launch desalination technologies that deliver cost-competitive clean water. Membrion’s ceramic desalination membranes are doing just that,” said Greg Newbloom, founder and chief executive officer [

Carlsbad Desal Plant Water Output Cut 20% to Conserve Power Amid Heat Wave – Carlsbad, California, USA

The Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant, which can produce up to 50 million gallons per day, typically accounts for about 1% of peak electricity demand in San Diego Gas & Electric’s service area.

Reducing water production will free up 9 megawatts, enough to power several thousand homes.

CALIFORNIA UNVEILS NEW WATER STRATEGY AMID SAVAGE MEGADROUGHT – California, USA

His plan calls for creating storage for four million acre-feet of water and recycling or reusing 800,000 acre-feet per year by 2030 in addition to more stormwater capture and desalination projects.

An acre-foot of water is generally considered enough to supply two urban households per year.

«The hots are getting a lot hotter, the dries are getting a lot drier and 
 the wets are getting wetter,» Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday at a desalination plant under construction in Antioch, 72 kilometres inland from San Francisco, that will turn brackish water [

Plans to increase desalination plant capacity to ensure supply – JERSEY , USA

The plant can currently produce just over ten million litres of drinking water a day – roughly half of the Island’s average daily usage.

The company now plans to increase capacity by five million litres per day – enough to fill two Olympic-sized swimming pools – to meet a projected rise in demand caused by climate change and a growing population.

More than just desalination: City of Corpus Christi considering alternative water sources – Texas, USA

Where does the city stand with desalination?

The Evangeline project would consist of a pumping production system with 15 to 20 wells spread across the 23,000 acreage. It would also take a 42-inch or 64-inch diameter water pipeline — about 10 miles long if connected to the Mary Rhodes Pipeline and 20 miles long if not — to deliver water to the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant.

The city is looking to build a secondary plant at La Quinta Channel. This facility would produce 40 million gallons a day and would [

As historic drought rages, SLO County turns to desalination to help bring water to cities – San Luis Obispo, California, USAïżŒ

That wastewater recycling plant is currently in the design phase and set to be in operation by 2025. It’ll likely provide 900 to 1,000 acre-feet per year of fresh water for Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, Oceano and the county.

One way out of a drought? Technology that makes water potable – Santa Monica, California, USA

The city has great access to saline water.


in 2016, Catalina invested in a second desalination plant, which turns saltwater into freshwater. Together the plants now process nearly 250,000 gallons of water per day, which is about 40% of the island’s drinking water.

Climate change means some coastal groundwater may soon be too salty to drink. What can cities do – Cape May, New Jersey, USA

Cape May solved its problem with desalination. Could the rest of the world follow suit?

The only feasible solution was desalination
. “We’re looking to really step it up 
[with] the next plant 
 that’ll be sustainable for 
 the next 50 plus years,” Mendo said.

Plant operator Joe Mendo says 70 percent of the water that goes in comes out as fresh water. The other 30 percent is concentrated salt water that goes into a nearby creek, which, he said, is not harmful because it is far less salty than actual salt water. [
