powerdesal Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Just in case there are some interested "techno-types" out there.This [IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h17/powerdesal/D12017.jpg[/IMG] is the first, biggest, 8 million imp gallon per day M.E.D desalination unit ever built, anywhere in the World.Commissioned August 2006.This is the second, a "clone" of the first, due to commission early June this year.[IMG]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h17/powerdesal/VariousEarly2007040.jpg[/IMG]Each was shipped by barge, unit weight approx 3000 tonnes. Designed in Paris, built locally here. And yes, I am quite proud of being the Project Manager of the biggest units in the World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Nice one! Or should that be Nice two! So how much energy does each of 'em use? - just curious. Whatever it is I guess it's not a problem seeing as you're floating on oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Steam flow per unit is 175 tonnes per hour, electrical power is about 5 Mw / unit for the pumps.The steam is from waste heat recovery boilers retrofitted to our existing gas turbines fired on natural gas. 120MW gas turbine gives 240 t/hr steam from a waste heat boiler.It would be nice if we were floating on oil but unfortunately we actually have to buy our fuel at the commercial rate, hence we have to be very efficiency orientated.
