This report provides an up-to-date assessment of water resources across Europe with the key objectives of: describing spatial patterns and trends in water availability and abstraction, identifying those regions subject to the greatest water stress and the detrimental impacts that ensue; increasing awareness of the challenges of water scarcity and drought and the need for a fundamental shift to a
Nagercoil: A group of persons belonging to a non-governmental organization based at Nagercoil have designed a technology for the setting up of desalination plants in the coastal areas of the State particularly in Tuticorin, Ramanathapuram and Kanyakumari districts.
It will cater for both the nuclear plant and NPCIL township
All set for pure supply: The desalination plant at the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project site. In the background is the huge reactor building of the first unit (1000 MWe) which will be commissioned this year.
Launch: Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi presenting souvenirs to Union Minister for Shipping and Road Transport T.R. Baalu (left) and Union Minister of State for Statistics and Programme Implementation G.K.Vasan, at the inauguration of Maritime University in Chennai on Wednesday.
Ultrafiltration is becoming a preferred alternative as pretreatment to sea water reverse osmosis plants delivering superior water quality to reverse osmosis.
Seawater pretreatment is an integral part of every Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant. The key purpose of the pretreatment system is to remove particulates, debris, micro organisms, suspended solids and silt from the source seawater prior to reverse osmosis sepration.
Water is a notoriously scarce resource in northern China, a situation that has forced many industries in the region to turn to desalination for process water. Located in HeBei province close to the Bohai Sea, the WangTan Power Plant has a 2x600MW capacity. The Bohai Sea has high turbidity that fluctuates greatly with wind and tides, which makes the waters extremely challenging to purify.
