The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) need to add about 2.7 million cubic meters per day of desalination capacity each year to meet the region’s growing demand for water, with clean technologies holding the potential to help address those requirements.

The market for desalination plants in the region is expected to attract investments to the tune of $15.5 billion between 2009 and 2013, Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Vivek Gautam told the Cleantech Group today.

Gautam, who recently produced a report on the topic, said the market brought in $3.8 billion in revenue for 2008, with nearly 19 percent of that from small capacity plants.

The report also suggests reverse osmosis technologies are likely to be a bigger part of the growing market.

Gautam said demand is being primarily driven by chronic water shortages because of persistent drought-like conditions, increasing populations, and increasing per capita water consumption because of improving living standards and expanding industrial activity. There’s little available fresh water in the region, Gautam said.

“It’s really a hot bed of activity. Since they have no natural water supply, they have to inherently have desalination capacity,” said Topsfield, Mass.-based International Desalination Association President Lisa Henthorne, who lived in Dubai for the last five years.

The growing desalination market offers immediate potential for energy recovery technologies, Gautam said.

“In the short run, we may expect some market for nuclear energy-based desalination, as it is most competitive compared to other non-conventional energy resources,” he said. “Similarly, we may expect some opportunities for solar energy-based desalination, particularly for small capacity plants using brackish water as feed.”

He cited desalination coupled with solar power as potentially being the most promising in the long term.

Desalination is considered an energy intensive process, but Gautam said few alternative reliable water supply options are available in water scarce MENA region countries.

Henthorne highlighted the potential for membrane technologies, which she said are already making great strides in MENA because they are energy efficient, and waste energy can be recovered from the process.

Gautam said nano-engineered membranes look promising.

“If these membranes are proven to be low fouling, this can represent a breakthrough in membrane design,” he said.

Henthorne said the market opportunity in MENA presents opportunities for cleantech companies, related to continuing to reduce desalination energy consumption and develop innovative new technologies that use natural sources of energy, such as direct osmosis, which uses more natural ability of the saline solution to remove salt.

Other selective approaches are focused on removing specific ions or increasing the amount of water that can go through a membrane, she said.

Gautam said some of the main suppliers of energy recovery technology include California-based Energy Recovery Systems (Nasdaq:ERII) and Switzerland’s Calder. And Norway-based Aqualyng has proprietary energy recovery technology that’s integrated with a plant’s design. These devices have substantially reduced the energy intensity of reverse osmosis-based desalination, thereby reducing the production cost of desalinated water, Gautam said.

Earlier this month, Energy Recovery said its energy efficient technology is expected to be implemented at the Southern Seawater Desalination Plant in western Australia (see Energy Recovery tech slated for new Australian desal plant).

Henthorne said because of global warming the rain patterns have changed in Australia, leading to changes in the water and air currents.

“They have, in a matter of a few years, gone from a drought to recognizing this is not going to change,” Henthorne said.

She said environmentally friendly desalination plants have been springing up through Australia, often powered completely by renewable energy.

Other companies Gautam said are working toward coupling renewable energy with desalination include South Korea’s Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction, which is pairing a desalination plant with fuel cell and wind energy.

Doosan and Korea Electric Power are working on a Multiple Effect Distillation (MED)-based desalination plant integrated with a small nuclear plant to produce 40,000 cubed meters per day of water and 90 megawatts of power, at low cost compared to gas turbines. Commercialization of this technology is in progress, Gautam said.

Last week, Canonsburg, Pa.-based Aquatech International was picked to design and build a seawater desalination project for a thermal power plant in Egypt, to include two MED units. MED technology allows for uninterrupted water supply (see Desal project at Egyptian thermal power plant goes to Aquatech).

 

 

 

 

Silent Wind Turbine
The Vertical Axis Wind-Power Turbine ( VAWT ) is a new product designed . We started the research on VAWT 15 years ago. Now many of the famous experts the world wide have accepted such new technology and this technology will definitely lead the development of the small and middle size wind-power turbines. Following are the detail features of such VAWT:
Safe in operation:
     Due to the usage of the vertical blade and the force support is of triangle form, the wind force will mainly press on the wheel. So the blades will not be able to fall
down, to be broken or to be thrown far away.
Noise:
     The way of the turning of the blades is of horizontal and the design of the blade is of the scheme of the wing of the air-plane, so in operation the VAWT will not make any noise.
Capacity of wind resistance:
     Due to the advantage of the design of the VAWT, the press force the turbine suffered is minimized and as the result such VAWT can stand on the extra strong typhoon of 45 m/s.
Space requirement:
     It needs much smaller working space than other kinds of wind-power turbines. Thus not only saves the space, but also aises the working efficiency.
Power curve:
     It needs lower wind speed for its starting and the increasing of the power is slow and stable. So its production capacity is 10-30% higher than other kinds of turbines.
Scope of the wind power needed:
      Due to the adoption of the new control system, this VAWT is suitable to be used in the wind speed scope from 2.0 25 m/s.. It means we can get full use of the wind source

and producing more power economically.
Brake system:
      This VAWT is equipped with both the automatic brake system and the handle brake system. The handle brake system can meet the needs to brake the equipment in the area where there is no typhoon and the extra strong wind.
Maintenance:
      The turbine of the VAWT is of direct driven permanent magnetic system, without using the gear box.

Shenzhen, China-based Trony Solar Holdings is looking to raise up to $200 million in an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, according to a regulatory filing today. It would trade under the ticker symbol TRO.

The thin film solar company, which has roots in producing thin film batteries, uses amorphous silicon technology to deposit non-crystalline silicon onto a substrate to manufacture solar photovoltaic modules that it says are thinner than conventional crystalline solar PV modules.

Its products include large modules with applications in PV power stations, building integrated photovoltaics and off-grid. Trony had a 115 megawatt annual manufacturing capacity as of the end of August.

It didn’t list the number of shares it plans to offer or the price range. Founded in 2003, the company has more than 600 employees.

Last year, Trony Solar raised $20 million from Intel Capital, the investment arm of Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) (see Intel puts more cash into cleantech). Some of the funding was expected to be used on Trony’s expansion plans.

Earlier this month, Enfield, Conn.-based STR Holdings said it was also planning to go public on the NYSE during the week of Nov. 2, which would mark the first U.S.-listed IPO from a solar company in more than a year. It is looking to raise $172 million by offering 12.3 million shares at a price range of between $13 and $15 per share (see Second time’s a charm for STR Holdings’ IPO?).

Originally from the Breakthrough Institute Friday again already eh? Well that makes it Friday Factoids time … We’ll keep this one short, with just the graphic below comparing the levels of clean energy R&D funding included in the House and Senate climate and energy bills with the strong and growing consensus among energy innovation experts that $15 billion per year in additional funding is needed to achieve national climate, energy and economic objectives. I’ve also included the boost in FY2009 Department of Energy (DOE) R&D budgets provided by the economic stimulus bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. As Google’s Dan Reicher warned the Senate on Wednesday: when these temporary stimulus funds dry up, the U.S. could fall of a “funding cliff” unless significantly larger allocations are made for clean energy R&D in Congressional legislation. ( click to enlarge ) Sources: ACES and CEJAPA funding levels are average annual figures over the first ten years of cap and trade (2012-2021) at EPA-projected allowance prices.

Canonsburg, Penn.-based Aquatech International said it’s been picked to design and build a special seawater desalination project for a thermal power plant in Egypt.

Financial details of the project for the client, West Delta Electricity Production, and consultant PGESCo were undisclosed. The project is expected to use Multiple Effect Distillation (MED) technology, which allows for uninterrupted water supply.

The new facility at Abu Qir, a village on the Mediterranean coast northeast of Alexandria, is planned to include two MED units with thermal vapor compression technology. Each is expected to have the capacity to generate a net of 5,000 cubed meters of water per day and supply 10,000 cubed meters of fresh water a day to the power station.

The plant is to use Mediterranean Sea water to produce pure water with less than 5 milligrams per liter total dissolved solids, and is to use plant steam to provide energy to operate the desal units.

Aquatech is an original equipment manufacturer of industrial water and wastewater treatment systems, and a supplier of water management services. Its water purification technology focuses on desalination, water reuse, and zero liquid discharge. It has a worldwide presence through subsidiaries in Europe, the Middle East, India, and China.

In June, the company won a contract to design, build and operate one of the largest desalination plants in India (see Aquatech wins seawater desal project in India). Aquatech plans to pre-treat the seawater using lamella clarifiers and a two-stage pressure filtration. Then, four streams of seawater reverse osmosis banks are followed by two banks of brackish water reverse osmosis.

Earlier this year, Aquatech was also awarded an industrial wastewater reuse project that uses reverse osmosis for a chemical facility by TCI Sanmar Chemicals, also in Egypt. The system is expected to have a capacity of 8,500 cubed meters per day, recovering more than 90 percent of the water suitable for use within the facility for various processes.
