SWS is happy to announce its membership to the Water-Mining Consortium.<\/p>\n
The Water-Mining project has been granted by the European Commission under the HORIZON 2020 – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
\nCircular economy and sustainable solutions are key factors leading the project.<\/p>\n
Scope is to demonstrate the feasibility of a ‘water smart’ economy and society in which all available water resources are managed in such a way as to avoid water scarcity and pollution, increase resilience to climate change, appropriately manage water-related risks, and ensure that all valuable substances that could be obtained from waste water treatment processes, or are embedded in used water streams, are recovered.<\/p>\n
SWS participates to the Consortium as the selected technology provider for the Multiple Effect Distillation: the conventional MED sea water desalination process is re-visited to maximize the fresh water production while returning a highly concentrated brine, close to the saturation point.<\/p>\n
A demo package will be installed in the Italian island of Lampedusa and exploiting the waste heat recovery from the diesel generators of the existing power plant.<\/p>\n
The project has been launched Oct 2020 and the demo unit is planned to be operative by the 3rd<\/sup> quarter 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SWS is happy to announce its membership to the Water-Mining Consortium.
