IDE - Providing India with Desalination Solutions
Abstract - India is a strategic market for IDE. Since 1994, the company has
been building up an impressive track record in India with 22 thermal
desalination facilities in the industrial sector, and a total installed capacity
of approximately 270,000 m3/day. The desalination facilities provide
water for various applications ranging from nuclear power generation to
oil refineries and industrial facilities. Some of the desalination plants are
among the world's largest of their kind.
The New Hadera Plant in Israel
Hadera desalination plant, Israel’s New Mega Size Desalination Facility – a Further Step towards Solving Israel’s Water Problems.
Abstract - Israel is one of the ten countries in the world with the lowest natural renewable water resources and since the inception of the State the water sector has faced the imbalance between supply and demand. Even in a year of average rainfall the demand exceeds the available water resources. Furthermore, the quality of the source water is deteriorating due to over exploitation and intense human activity.
Environmental Aspects of a Desalination Plant in Ashkelon
Abstract- The desalination plant was set up as a solution to Israel’s growing demand for fresh water. This is the first of a series of designated desalination plants of the same approximate size, which are at present in various stages of planning and licensing. The desalination plant in Ashkelon is one of the largest in the world, and the largest in the Levant Basin. The proposed solution for treating the brines of the desalination plant is unique and apparently the first of its kind for plants of this size.

South Israel 100 million m3/year Seawater Desalination Facility
Abstract- This paper presents the structure and features of the South Israel (Ashkelon) Project, which consists of the financing, design, construction, operation and transfer of a seawater desalination facility with guaranteed production capability of 100 Mm3/year for a term of 25 years. The facility which started operating in August 2005, achieved an initial water price of US¢ 52.7/m3, one of the lowest prices ever offered in a BOT project for seawater desalination.
