While the use of heat for desalination has been studies for centuries, recent technologies development have emphasised its main issue: competitiveness. DESOLINATION will tackle this issue by developing an innovative process coupling Concentrated Solar Power (or CSP) and forward osmosis desalination technologies for a coupled production of\u00a0 renewable electricity\u00a0 and freshwater. The innovative solutions will be demonstrated in real conditions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, first on an existing system and second on a next-generation one.<\/p>\n

To achieve this, our team will use forward osmosis (osmotic pressure) to induce a flow of seawater towards a draw solution. On its way, the water will pass through a membrane that will only let freshwater through, but will block salt. Using waste heat from the concentrating solar power plant, the diluted solution is heated until the fresh water can be recovered through a second membrane.<\/p>\n

Water scarcity is a growing concern, with projections indicating that 40% of the global population will face shortages by 2030. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that only 3% of the world’s water reserves is freshwater, with seawater accounting for the remaining percentage.<\/p>\n

Renewable energies are the key to achieving a zero-carbon economy and halting climate change. In 2019, solar energy accounted for around 11% of the world\u2019s total renewable energy production, and its power generation capacity has increased by 16% since 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

These results are promising, but we need to do more.<\/p>\n

To reach the EU\u2019s target, solar power generation and other renewable energy technologies must become more efficient and less costly.<\/p>\n

The already existing 200kW CSP Plant<\/a> in King Saud University Plant is an air Brayton cycle solar power tower. It will be coupled with the DESOLINATION heat recovery and innovative desalination systems to use the otherwise wasted resource.<\/p>\n

As a second step, the site will also host the 2MWe CO2<\/sub> blends power cycle, also linked to the desalination system and demonstrating efficient coupling of solar energy and water production.<\/p>\n

Find out how the DESOLINATION project partners are revolutionising water desalination by combining advanced solar technologies with innovative desalination processes.While the use of heat for desalination has been studies for centuries, recent technologies development have emphasised its main issue: competitiveness. DESOLINATION will tackle this issue by developing an innovative process coupling Concentrated Solar Power (or CSP) and forward osmosis desalination technologies for a coupled production of\u00a0 renewable electricity\u00a0 and freshwater. The innovative solutions will be demonstrated in real conditions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, first on an existing system and second on a next-generation one.To achieve this, our team will use forward osmosis (osmotic pressure) to induce a flow of seawater towards a draw solution. On its way, the water will pass through a membrane that will only let freshwater through, but will block salt. Using waste heat from the concentrating solar power plant, the diluted solution is heated until the fresh water can be recovered through a second membrane.Water scarcity is a growing concern, with projections indicating that 40% of the global population will face shortages by 2030. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that only 3% of the world’s water reserves is freshwater, with seawater accounting for the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8121","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8121"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8121\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10307,"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8121\/revisions\/10307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/desolination.eu\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
