  • Desalination in Israel
    Desalination: Group 2 Executive Summary 2010 MDDP Project – Desalination in Israel Group Members: Supervisors: Salah Ali (SA) Gerry Parke Peter Brown (PB) Carl Sofield Elizabeth Drake (ED) Nigel Seaton Norliza Jabar (NJ) Kularajh Kandasamy (KK) Prashanth Srinivasan (PS) i Author: KK, PS, SA & ED Desalination: Group 2 Executive Summary Executive Summary Over the years, Israel has supplied water to its population by extracting water from its natural sources, such as the Sea of Galilee, mountain aquifers and coastal aquifers. Over reliance on these sources has depleted them, to a point where the level is critically low. Desalination has been successfully implemented in Israel, on a large scale, to bridge the gap between water demand and supply. This project looks at the various aspects and challenges associated with the design of another desalination plant in the region along the Mediterranean coast. This desalination plant is designed to produce 110 million m3 of water annually over the design period of 20 years. The production capacity was determined by considering the future population growth of Israel and an analysis of projected water demand and supply. This amount contributes 5% of Israel‟s total potable water demand. The two desalination technologies explored were Multi Stage Flash Distillation (MSFD) and Reverse Osmosis (RO); on critical examination, it was found that MSFD is inefficient compared to RO. This is illustrated by the specific energy requirements, which for MSFD ranges from 49.66 kWh/m3 – 99.74 kWh/m3. On the other hand, RO requires only 3.41 kWh/m3, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the MSFD requirement.

  • 126-142 Capwa Pilot Test Results
    PPC HEM Pilot Test to Capture Water from the Flue Gas of a Coal-Fired Power Station Pilot Test to Capture Water from the Flue Gas of a Coal-Fired Power Station Frank de Vos, Paul van Daele, Jeff Gabster, Danny Sherban, Rony Mehr, Dror Yitzhak, Ines Bettermann, Stefan Weuster, Wolfgang Ansorge, Herman Teunis, Zandrie Borneman, and Ludwin Daal ABSTRACT One of the major challenges of this century is the provision of water for a growing population and the industry. The shortage in water resources in arid areas requires the availability of more efficient and cheaper water production processes. A large source of water is found in the form of evaporated water emitted from different industrial processes. This water vapour can be selectively removed by gas-gas separation membranes. Within the European CapWa project, thirteen partners set out to upscale this technology and pilot test the membranes in a coal-fired power plant. The pilot test was conducted for a period of 3 months at the Rutenberg plant. It can be concluded that a large scale pilot plant produces similar fluxes to lab findings and that the water quality easily fulfils drinking water standards (except for pH). The measured energy consumption values support previously conducted modelling work. INTRODUCTION One of the major challenges of this century is the provision article describes the set-up of the pilot unit, the mem - of water for a growing population and the industry.
