스페인 지속가능한 에너지 기업인 Abengoa가 Masdar Institute, 아부다비 미래에너지 기업과 역삼투 소금물의 멤브레인 증류 기술을 최적화하기 위한 연구 파트너십을 맺었다.

이 연구는 담수화 과정의 지속가능성을 증대시키기 위해 염수 배출량을 절감함과 동시에 물 재생력과 해수 역삼투 플랜트의 생산성을 향상시키는 것을 목표로 한다.

 

 

 

Spanish energy sustainability company Abengoa has formed a research partnership with the Masdar Institute and the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company to optimize membrane distillation technology for the treatment of reverse osmosis brines. 

 

The study aims to improve the water recovery and productivity of seawater reverse osmosis plants while reducing the volume of brine discharge, to increase the sustainability of the desalination process.

 

As part of the work Abengoa is developing a seawater reverse osmosis pilot scale project las Ghantoot city, at Abu Dhabi's border with Dubai. This 1,000 m³/d pilot plant will use a hybrid system of reverse osmosis combined with an innovative membrane distillation system.

 

Abengoa said the research partnership will consolidate its commitment to research and development in the water sector to improve the performance of existing products and the development of new technologies.
