IDE사는 세계 100대 리조트이며 빌 게이트, 타이거 우즈 등 방문으로 유명하고 great barrier reef로 세계유산으로 등록된 호주 헤이먼 아일랜드 리조트에 담수화 설비를 공급하기로 했다고 밝혔다.
IDE사의 PROGREEN 모델의 담수화 설비는 모듈러형, 케미칼 사용이 없으며 컴팩트한 크기로 스키드내 일체화한 구조로 특히 에너지 사용량을 줄인 것이 특징이다. 즉 ‘plug and play’ 개념의 설계로 짧은 시간동안 설치 및 운전이 가능하다.
한편 에너지 사용량 감소 및 안정적 성능을 유지하기 위하여 특허 등록의 ‘RO Membrane Direct Osmosis Cleaning’ 기술을 이용한 것이 특징이다. 이번계약과 동시에 IDE사는 10년간 담수화 시스템의 운영 및 유지보수를 위한 계약도 추진하고 있다.

IDE Technologies selected to provide desalinated water to island resort
IDE Technologies announced that Mulpha Australia, the owner of Hayman — a five star island resort located on the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef — has selected IDE PROGREEN to provide desalinated water to the island resort, according to a press release.
Mulpha selected IDE PROGREEN based on its modular, chemical-free concept and compact size, that delivered a ‘desalination plant-in-a-box,’ while enforcing low energy consumption requirements.
Mulpha Australia’s Director of Group Asset Development & Projects Greg Timar said: “We are pleased to acquire this modular unit from IDE. As a result of its ‘plug and play’ abilities, the plant should be up and running in a relatively short time. An important aspect in the decision to award IDE the new plant was the ongoing operation and maintenance support to be provided to Hayman from the IDE Australian office. We are optimistic about the desalination benefits we will gain and IDE’s ability to address our critical needs for water capacity under restricted energy consumption and low operation and maintenance costs.”
The IDE PROGREEN modular Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination solution provides high-quality water while minimizing the impact on the environment by eliminating the use of chemicals in the pretreatment and desalination processes. The system is compact and flexible, which makes it easy to transport and install, while considerably reducing operational costs. The IDE PROGREENTM features a patented RO Membrane Direct Osmosis Cleaning (DOC) system, for reduced energy consumption and stable performance.
IDE Technologies CEO Avshalom Felber said: “Working with Mulpha on this new project reinforces the value of IDE PROGREENTM to meet the needs of delivering affordable drinking water to remote island locations while providing a solution that is sustainable and environmentally-friendly to the wider region. This project is a great example of IDE’s ability to help resolve water shortages, meet energy requirements and provide superior cost-effective solutions. Partnering with Mulpha is particularly pleasing as it continues the relationship established by IDE and Hayman in 1985 in the supply of the island’s current thermal desalination plant which is to be replaced.”
