French engineering company Mascara will deliver a fifth energy efficient desalination plant as part of the ongoing Masdar trials in Abu Dhabi, UAE, according to WWi. The project will include a 30 m3/day, small scale solar powered desalination plant that will use eight reverse osmosis (RO) elements provided by Dow.
Speaking at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, Marc Vergnet, president of Mascara said he is expecting the project to consume 2.8 kWh/m3, which his significantly smaller than the aim of 3.6 kWh/m3 from Masdar for the other four desalination projects.
The Mascara project will be the first in Ghantoot to connect solar power to the desalination process and is expected to be up and running by May.
