Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi looks at the project of a solar water -powered hybrid station at the University of Sharjah
Sharjah, February 12/ WAM/ His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, President of Sharjah University, witnessed this morning, Wednesday, a scientific project at the university to design and manufacture a hybrid experimental station that works with solar energy for groundwater desalination, salty marine and very salty water And, in cooperation with the Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (Siwa).
The project, which aims to provide innovative water desalination solutions depending on the “water map” atlas in the Emirate of Sharjah, comes within the framework of research projects and innovative sustainable solutions provided by the University of Sharjah for the challenges facing society, in cooperation with various institutions and service bodies.
His Highness the President of Sharjah University was briefed on the details of the project, whose scientific importance lies in providing solutions to the challenges of desalination, which is considered one of the most important strategic environmental priorities in the country and the world, and it is expected that the project will contribute to supporting scientific research and developing industrial growth in the state, and will benefit societies Local by solving water problems, increasing fresh water supplies, and reducing the problem of water scarcity.
His Highness listened to an explanation about the way the distinguished research project is added, which is added to the group of research studies provided by researchers at the University of Sharjah, where the project works to develop a new and innovative form of technology through the establishment of a solar water desalination system at the level of an experimental station, and the development of local technologies for desalination Water has a direct impact on society, and a comprehensive assessment of water quality will be conducted using the Sharjah Sat satellite and the collection of water samples.
Sharjah Atlas helps the “water map” within the project with providing desalination experts with detailed information for the quality, quality and level of water in the Emirate of Sharjah, which helps in designing appropriate desalination systems.
The innovative part of the project focuses on developing a number of foundations on which the project is based: Sharjah Atlas, design and manufacture of new reverse (RO) membranes that work to recover water at a high rate and low production of saline solution or daring water, in addition to designing and manufacturing a solar powered desalination plant In reverse osmosis technology (RO) with lower energy consumption and a higher water production rate.
The project aims to provide sustainable and innovative solutions that guarantee reducing financial cost as well as reducing fuel dependence in water desalination by developing the use of renewable energy represented in solar energy in desalination, in addition to working to solve the problem of the saline solution resulting from current water desalination operations, which represents the problem Large environmental, in order to ensure the sustainability of desalination operations and reduce the harmful environmental impact on environmental and marine systems and coastal areas.
