TOPIC:   Energy Saving and Environmentally Friendly Desalination Technology, “Remix Water”, Demonstration Project

EThekwini Water and Sanitation (EWS) has recently engaged on a feasibility study to find out whether it is financially viable to implement desalination as a solution to the water challenges that the city is currently facing. Current studies underway by EWS to assess Inner City Water Demands indicate a demand of approximately 65 ML/day. This demand outstrips the supply of 50 ML/day and thus the need to augment the supply by 15 ML/day by 2020. In response to this, EWS is investigating desalination technologies available to implement in the city, one of them being the Remix Water TM System, an energy-saving and environmentally friendly desalination technology.
 
EWS, Hitachi and NEDO have collaborated to build and operate a 6,250m3/day Remix Demonstration Plant at eThekwini’s Central Wastewater Treatment Works. The purpose of the demonstration plant is to test the technology, prove its ability to reliably produce potable water quality and to optimize the design, in order for the technology to be considered for larger commercial-scale implementation. The implementation of the demonstration plant will comprise of a 300m3/day containerized unit and a 6,250 m3/day demonstration plant.  The demonstration plant will be commissioned in November 2019 and will operate for 12 months thereafter.
