IDE to Build SDIC Desalination Units

IDE Technologies has signed a contract with Chinese electricity generation plant Tianjin SDIC for four desalination units, each with a production capacity of 25,000m³ a day of distilled water.

The four additional units will add 100,000 cubic metres of water daily, doubling the capacity to 73 million cubic metres of water a year to supply desalinated seawater for the 4,000MW power plant and drinking water for local residents.

The desalination units will re-use waste heat generated by the power plant, which will result in reducing desalination costs and minimising heat release into the atmosphere.

The Israeli company has already installed four desalination units at the power plant, according to Reuters.
