[중국] 베이징 담수화 플랜트 건설

 

베이징에 담수를 공급하기 위한 300만 m³/d바닷물 담수화 플랜트 Beijing Enterprise Water Group Ltd (BEWG)에 의해 계획되고 최근 회사가 운영한 100만 m³/d의 플랜트
추가됐다.

담수화 회사인 Aqualyng과 협력하는 BEWG는 2012년 9월 하북성 지방의 보하이만에 이미 50,000 m³/d의 바닷물 담수화 플랜트를 완공했다. 플랜트는 100만 m³/d 플랜트로 업그레이드 됐고 2019년까지 운행예정이다.

중국 언론은 BEWG의 바닷물 담수화 부서의 책임자인 Wang Wiaoshui의 말을 인용했다.
책임자는 2019년 베이징에서 100만 m³의 프로젝트가 운행되면 지금 물 소비량의 10%정도인 3억m³의 담수를 매년 제공할 것으로 예상한다.

A 3 million m³/d seawater desalination plant to supply the Chinese capital Beijing is being planned by Hong Kong-based Beijing Enterprise Water Group Ltd (BEWG), in addition to a 1 million m³/d plant on which the company is currently working.

BEWG, working with desalination company Aqualyng (now headquartered in China), has already completed a 50,000 m³/d seawater desalination plant in September 2012 in Caofeidian, on Bohai Bay in Hebei province. It is currently working to have the 1 million m³/d plant up and running in Caoefeidian by 2019.

Chinese media have quoted Wang Xiaoshui, director of the seawater desalination department of BEWG, as saying that, after the 1 million m³ project goes into operation in 2019, Beijing will receive more than 300 million m³ of desalted seawater annually, about 10% of its current water consumption volume.

The current project will include a desalination facility costing RMB 7 billion (US$ 1.13 billion) and a 270 km-long pipeline extending to Beijing, costing RMB 10 billion (US$ 1.6 billion). China Daily reported that the water would cost RMB 8 (US$ 1.28) per m³, twice the current cost of water in the city.

The additional desalination project with a capacity of 3 million m³ also planned by BEWG to meet the capital's demand will increase Beijing's desalinated water supply to more than 1 billion m³. This is equal to the storage capacity of the Miyun Reservoir, the largest storage facility in north China and Beijing's major water source.

BEWG previously announced in January 2014 that it had signed an agreement with the government office of Sansha City for a desalination engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract under which the government office of Sansha City purchased two 15 m³/d desalination plants (including the transportation and installation of equipment, generator and container depot).

At the beginning of this year, the desalination EPC contract being undertaken by BEWG on Yagong and Lingyang islands in Hainan Province completed its construction and commenced operation. Since then, it has successfully solved the shortage of drinking water for residents on these islands.

BEWG is also planning to invest in desalination projects in Yongxing Island, part of Sansha City, as well as in other domestic and foreign islands, and coastal areas of China.
