Revolutionizing Water Supply in Chennai: Cobra-Tedagua Consortium Launches Desalination Plant – India

The newly operational plant boasts a remarkable capacity to produce 150,000 m³/day of drinking water, utilizing cutting-edge technologies for seawater treatment. Its design emphasizes reliability and versatility in pretreatment processes, including lamellar sedimentation, Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF), ultrafiltration, and standard chemical adjustments. These features not only ensure the plant’s adaptability to varying raw water qualities but also contribute to its low electricity consumption, setting a new benchmark for reducing carbon footprints in the face of climate change.

Critical issues of desalination plants on the islands – Sicily

Water is a common good but at a high price for the smaller islands. The study “Environmental and economic costs of desalination” was illustrated in the Press Room of the Chamber of Deputies with a case study on the smaller Sicilian islands:
• the average cost of producing desalinated water from fixed plants is around 12 euros/m3;
• the Lipari and Lampedusa plants consume energy for 2.8 million euros per year, with total annual management costs exceeding 12 million euros to produce 1.5 million m3/year of water.

Gaza turns to desalination amid increasingly scarce water access – Gaza

Gaza has one of the highest population densities in the world and has been under a tough Israeli blockade since 2007 when the Islamist Hamas movement seized power.

In the past, drinking tap water was the norm but “no one does it now” because the risk of infection and disease is too high, Sami Abu Omar, a 58-year-old resident of the southern city of Khan Younis, tells EFE.

Antofagasta launches desalination plant for Los Pelambres mine – Chile

Chilean miner Antofagasta Minerals on Thursday inaugurated a more than $2 billion desalination plant for its flagship copper mine in Chile, Los Pelambres, aimed at relieving the effects of severe drought that has hit production.

The mine is the first to operate with desalinated water in an area of the country that has suffered a 15-year drought, sucking water from reservoirs and sparking concern over the fresh water supply.
