IWS 2016 Dailies Day 2

The International WaterSummit (IWS) jump-startedyesterday with enthusiasticexhibitors and visitors whosee the four-day event as anopportunity to create abetter future.

Part of Abu DhabiSustainability Week (ADSW)2016, the IWS is supportedby the InternationalDesalination Association(IDA). Now in its fourthyear, the IWS is a globalplatform for promoting water sustainability and addressing water challenges acrossthe region. IDA’s role as a supporter of the IWS is multi-level, including representationon the IWS’ International Advisory Board by IDA directors Leon Awerbuch and MichelCanet, secretary general Patricia A. Burke and former second vice-president MiguelAngel Sanz. “IWS’ emphasis on fostering innovation, best practices and collaborationmirrors IDA’s role to promoting this approach to sustainable water solutions aroundthe world,” said Burke.

Part of the summit, the Innovate@IWS is designed to find and accelerate next-gentechnologies in water sustainability. The Day 1 saw Charlie Fricke, V-P, Strategic Salesat Echologics win for ‘EchoShore: Permanent and Semi-Permanent Water MainMonitoring’.

Echologics provides acoustic-based technology and monitoring services that deliverdata to water authorities, pinpointing the location of leaks and degraded pipe therebysaving water, preventing catastrophic breaks and enabling proactive maintenance.

At the Zayed Future Energy Prize that was awarded yesterday and attended by UNSecretary General Ban Ki-moon, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed underlined theUAE will continue to be a leader in driving sustainable innovations across the globe.

“At this critical time in the global dialogue around sustainability and clean energy,the UAE has shown farsighted leadership in ensuring innovation plays a central role inaddressing the world’s common concerns,” he said. “Because of this, Abu Dhabi is afocal point for action that carries us along the path of sustainable development. This isa journey that we began under the farsighted vision of our founding father SheikhZayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, whose legacy defines the UAE’s past and will continue todefine its future.”

At the International Water Summit(IWS), GE has announced that as partof its US$10bn Ecomaginationtechnology research commitment, GEis focused on advancing innovationaround the water-energy nexus.

GE and Masdar will work together toimplement the first energy-neutralwastewater treatment processemploying GE’s portfolio of energyneutral products in the Middle Eastregion.

Further, GE will also join hands withGoldman Sachs to identify newopportunities to deploy capital anddevelop innovative financing modelsfor water projects around the world.

In another key initiative, GE andMWH Global, an engineering,consulting and construction firm, willwork together to develop new waterreuse and energy-neutral wastewaterprojects using innovative businessmodels.

Industries can test and prove newdistributed generation models thatproduce clean energy or clean water atthe customers’ sites.

GE also unveiled a white paper onthe opportunities and risks associatedwith the energy and water landscape ofthe Middle East and North Africa(MENA) region at IWS 2016.

Deb Frodl, global executive director– Ecomagination of GE, said, “Theshared nature of water and energyresources means that no individual

company, industry, country, or even aregion, can ensure access to cleanenergy and clean water on its own. Thereport underlines the need to promotecollaborative innovation that will helpbring energy costs down and providenew water service models. This can befurther supported through advancedtechnologies that help in doublingenergy productivity, scaling distributedclean energy, and building smartinfrastructure. All these are ‘win-win’opportunities for water and energy.”

GE has partnered with the WorldResources Institute (WRI) to preparethe report titled Water, Energy, Risks &Rewards - Challenges Opportunitiesand Ideas for Innovation at the Water-Energy Nexus and it is beingdistributed to visitors at the summit.The report is also available online athttp://invent.ge/1OpSA1T.

GE, Masdar join hands to develop first energy-neutral wastewater treatment plant

French firm Ecoplage has come up withan innovative solution to protect beachagainst corrosion as well as providewater to produce energy.

The Ecoplage beach drainage systemconsists of placing drains under thebeach up to two metres deep, parallelto the coastline and connected to apumping station. The drainage driesforeshore, slows erosion and promotesthe fattening of the beach. The processproduces a significant amount offiltered seawater. It also promotes theflow of seawater towards the drain andlowers the level of water table underthe beach.

With the Enerplage system, seawateris filtered perfectly after the drainageto produce energy. This is the principleof ‘thalassothermie’ (use of the heatingpower of the sea) to produce heat orcold and so supply the infrastructure onthe coast like hotels and residences.

Jean-Yves Audrain, CEO at Ecoplage,said, “The principle is to dewater the

beach and by dewatering the beach,we stabilise the beach without anynegative impact. As we dewater, wealso collect a huge amount of filteredseawater. We can economise water usetwenty times more with our seawaterheating technology. However, thissystem is unique to each beach andone needs to understand that this isperhaps not a global solution.”

With its first project at JumeirahBeach in Dubai, the company has

reduced erosion by 100 per cent inthree years as well as oxygenatedlagoon areas with the produced water.

The Jumeirah Beach is 1,400 metrelong and 80 metre wide with 1,000metre of eroding section south of thebeach and negative sentiment budgetof 30,000 cu/m per year.

With the Ecoplage process, thebeach received nourishment for 56,000cu/m of sand with a 950-metre longdrain piping. In two years’ time, sincethe implementation in late 2011, thebeach has lost less sand than it used toin a year.

The water produced by the systemcan be used for supplying to industrialprocesses through reverse osmosisdesalination, production of heat or coldusing heat pumps and exchangers, fishand shell farming, the re-oxygenationof basins or lagoons, among manyother uses.

The GCC will increase its total seawaterdesalination capacity by nearly 40 percent in four years, in an effort to meetthe rapidly increasing demand forpotable water in the region, accordingto figures revealed by IWS incollaboration with MEED Projects.According to the data produced by

MEED Projects, the GCC’s currentseawater desalination capacity ofapproximately 4,000mn imperialgallons a day (MIGD) is set to increaseto more than 5,500MIGD over the nextfive years as the GCC states investheavily in increasing potable watersupply.Desalination is becoming an

increasingly important matter forcountries like the UAE and Qatar, whichhave experienced rapid hikes indemand for water on the back ofstrong economic and populationgrowth, and Saudi Arabia wheregroundwater supplies are depleting. Asa result, there is a growing need fornew water resources, says Ed James,director of content and analysis atMEED Projects.Currently, demand for potable water

in the region is about 3,300MIGD andis expected to grow to about5,200MIGD by 2020. While currentreserve margins between supply anddemand appear to be at comfortablelevels, at country and local networklevels, the supply-demand gaps aremuch smaller. While Qatar and the UAEhave enjoyed comfortable reserve

margins in recent years, Saudi Arabia,Oman and Kuwait have faced realchallenges meeting demand, especiallyduring the summer months. Agingplants also do not always operate at fulldesign capacity, further reducing thetotal output.“As oil revenues decrease and the

issue of water has climbed up thepolitical agenda, governments havetried to dampen demand and reducecapital and operational expenditure.”For example, earlier this year AbuDhabi imposed water tariffs for the firsttime on UAE nationals while increasingexisting prices for expatriate users as ameans of decreasing subsidies andlowering demand. The emirate hikedwater tariffs for those exceeding thedaily limit of 700 litres in flats and 5,000litres in villas this month.The move emulated Dubai’s decision

in 2010 to raise water tariffs with theresult that annual demand growthslowed from 10 per cent to just fourper cent in the emirate,” James says.“Our data shows that over the last 10

years, the region has invested US$76bnin standalone water projects. If we addthe power component investment ofthese desalination facilities, that figureexceeds well over US$100bn. Goingforward, we expect the largestinvestments to be made in SaudiArabia, Abu Dhabi, Oman and Kuwait,which have the steepest short-termdemand projections. The addition ofmore than 1,500MIGD of new capacitywill likely require a similarly largeamount of investment.“With growing demand and the large

investments being made towardsdesalination projects in the region,greater awareness and discussion isneeded more than ever before aroundsustainable practice,” James notes. According to experts, events like IWS

allow industry professionals fromaround the world to share theirknowledge and expertise with decisionmakers and stakeholders who areincreasingly looking for the mostenergy efficient ways of producingconsumable water.

As populationincreases and supplyreduces, the region islooking at newresources andinvestments toproduce more water.

How important is the InternationalWater Summit as a platform for boththe global and regional watermanagement industry?International Water Summit is the bestplatform I know that brings togetherexperts as well as government andbusiness leaders in water, energy andenvironment to meet and learn fromeach other.

As one of the most water-scarceregions in the world, how can theGCC be assured of water security inthe future?GCC has to apply Integrated WaterResources Management (IWRM) rules,not their usual practices, in order toachieve water security for futuregenerations. First of all, full water cost has to be

recovered from all users, includingfarmers, in order to secure financialsustainability and achieve balancedsustainable environment. Governmentshave to then involve the private sectorto finance water plants, projects andhelp localise the industrial technologyand human capital in order to move toa knowledge-based economy. Afterthat, we have to involve the localcommunities in the management oflocal water sources and infrastructure inorder to ensure managementsustainability of water services. The best local management and

sustainability model that has provensuccessful for more than 1,000 years inthe region is Water Waqf, which is thelocal NGO involving the governmentsas well as other stakeholders.

How can governments best addresswater security in order to safeguardwater access in the region?We must apply aquifer storage andrecovery (ASR) solutions to store excesswater including rain water and treatedwastewater.

What technological or infrastructureinnovations within the water reuseand management industry have youbeen most excited about recently?ASR will be most important because itis proven that water quality returns to

normal after few months, having storedtertiary treated wastewater. In addition,generating energy and fertilisers fromwaste sludge is also anaccomplishment.

How would you rate the UAE interms of its approach to andadoption of sustainable watertechnologies and research?The UAE is the best among GCCcountries and is moving ahead toachieve set targets.

What are the current majorchallenges faced by the water-energynexus in the region, and what stepsare governments taking the addressthese?The GCC will suffer more in the futurefrom lack of energy sources, which willmake desalination much more difficultunless we make use of renewableenergy sources and develop newsources for energy for desalinationusing forward osmosis and pressureretarded osmosis.

How do you see water sustainabilityand availability developing overcoming years?There are more problems expectedunless GCC countries cooperate tosolve future challenges and turn themto future opportunities. I urge the UAEto take the lead.I would like to give two exampletechnologies which I am supportingnow because they can providebreakthrough sustainable solutions forGCC and all arid regions as examplesof transformative technologies:• Using saline water and renewableenergy to produce food in coolgreen houses and to water plantroots using ground rain.

• Using available humidity to producerain in the desert. Thus, you canproduce drinkable water, local food,and hydroelectric power at minimumcost any time.

‘GCC NATIONS MUST JOINHANDS TO TACKLE ISSUES’

We have to involve the local communities inthe management of local water sources andinfrastructure in order to ensure managementsustainability of water services.

Evoqua - Evoqua has developed the MEMCOR CP II, an ultrafiltration system that delivers water at a lower cost than conventional alternatives. It is a pressurized, pre-engineered membrane system with a modular building-block configuration and ultra-compact footprint. The system provides improved performance, reduced installation costs and a smaller footprint. It can be utilised in both municipal and industrial applica-tions including RO pre-treatment for desalination, industrial process water, potable and non-potable reuse and drinking water in surface and groundwater applications.

SEALEAU - A Dutch company of Greek origin, Sealeau offers a solution to regulatory pressure and water stress through management of salty wastewater and resource recovery. Waste heat or renewable energy is utilised to transform brine into fit-for-purpose water. Additionally, the process can recover valuable minerals from brine, including NaCl and CaCO3.

VWM (Vienna Water Monitoring Solutions) GmbH - The ColiMinder instrument is used to estimate the degree of microbiological contamination for water quality monitoring and process control. It VWM can. ColiMinder is batch measurement process that measures the enzymatic activity of target organisms, generat-ing results in 15 minutes (far faster than conventional lab based measurements). There are 3 variants of the instrument; the ColiMinder Industrial, the ColiMinder Mobile and the ColiMinder OMS (Outdoor Measure-ment Station).





Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) has completed the constructionof a dam project in Yemen, set to benefit thousands offamilies in Yemen’s Abyan province. Fifty small dams have been built over the past month

following the directives of ERC’s chairman emeritus Sheikha

Fatima bin Mubarak to assist war-afflicted people in Yemen. “This is the first step of the work in the water and

environment field,” said Ghaida Al Rashidi, who is overseeingthe implementation of Sheikha Fatima projects in Yemen.Following surveys of land in the area and the needs of

residents, ERC decided to implement this project. Now, othersurveys are being conducted in other parts of Abyan to gaugethe needs of the residents. The dams will help collect andstore rainwater that can then be used for drinking, cookingand agriculture. Moreover, the dams were built by the residents themselves,

reveals Al Rashidi. Each structure is 10 metres long andbetween three and five metres high, made of stone andcement and designed by Abyan architect Mohamed AlKhayali, who has also supervised their construction. The damswere built in an oval shape so that they can bear the pressureof water and ensure cracks are not formed. According to several reports, Rasd district in Abyan

province has been severely affected by water shortage. Mostresidents are poor and cannot solve the water problem ontheir own. Some have even left the area due to poor watersupply. Until the dams were built, residents of Rasd relied onwells, which usually dry up. The project architects are hopeful that the newly-built dams

will restore the livelihoods of Rasd residents.

Morocco’s first cleanenergy-powereddesalination project hasbegun operations at GreenEnergy Park in Ben Guerir. “Today, we have a plant

which can desalinate fivecu/m of water per hourusing only the energy of thesun,” said Badr Ikken,general manager ofResearch Institute on SolarEnergy and New Energy(IRESEN). A team of researchers and

industrialists have developed the Aquasolar project, a seawater desalination prototypewhich is mobile and modular, and powered by solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV)energy. Fifty seven PV panels with a combined capacity of 10kW and 18 solar thermal panels

of 14kW power the processes of reverse osmosis (RO) and membrane distillation. Thecombination of two technologies for desalination and two solar technologies allowsthe device to increase the volume of processed water with minimum amount of brineproduced. RO uses electricity from the PV cells, while membrane distillation process ispowered by the solar thermal panels.The Aquasolar project is funded by the IRESEN as part of the INNOTHERMI

initiative. According to IRESEN, the project is at a convenient location and can supplyfresh water to tourist complexes, schools and other facilities.

First energy-powered desalplant starts up in Morocco

Doosan Hydro Technology has won anorder from South Korean engineeringprocurement and construction (EPC)contractor Samsung Construction andTrading for the water and wastewatertreatment system on the Qatar FacilityD integrated water and powerproduction project. Samsung was awarded the EPC

contract for Facility D, which is beingdeveloped by Mitsubishi Corporationand Tokyo Electric Power Company.Doosan’s scope of work includes thedemineralisation package, industrialwastewater treatment, oily watertreatment and sanitary wastewatertreatment. Doosan Heavy Industries &

Construction also won an order worthUS$80mn last year to develop phasetwo of the Al Ansab Sewage TreatmentPlant in Oman.
