Last week, the DESOLINATION project partners gathered in Firenze for the 6th progress meeting, hosted by Baker Hughes. We extend our sincere gratitude to Baker Hughes for their hospitality and the organization of this important event.
As the holiday season approaches, the DESOLINATION team reflects on the significant progress made this year while preparing for the critical milestones that lie ahead. The discussions in Firenze emphasized both the achievements and the adjustments necessary to ensure the successful realization of the project’s objectives.
A central focus of the meeting was the demonstration plant in Riyadh, a cornerstone of the DESOLINATION initiative. While the development of most components is nearing completion, several timeline adjustments were addressed.
We had the opportunity to visit Baker Hughes’s Technical Training Academy. Baker Hughes is a leader in energy technology and specializes in advanced equipment for energy production, including turbomachinery for new-generation power cycles.
In the DESOLINATION project, they are designing the innovative power cycle and customized power block turbomachinery critical to the project’s success.
The visit highlighted Baker Hughes’ key contributions and inspired our team with a deeper understanding of their role in achieving the project’s vision.
As 2024 draws to a close, we extend our warmest holiday wishes to all our partners and supporters. Here’s to a successful and impactful 2025, as we continue to advance our shared vision of sustainable water and energy solutions.
Let us maintain this momentum as we strive toward completing the DESOLINATION project and delivering innovative solutions that benefit communities worldwide.
