Solar powered desalination in Abu Dhabi with brine evaporation

摘要

The Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) is more than two thirds of the way through a trial to construct 30 solar desalination plants across the Emirate. The pilot project launched in Umm Al Zamool aims to test solar desalination and each of the 22 plants built so far produces around 1,100 gallons of clean water per hour - approximately 6,600 gallons on an average day. Touted as "zero-carbon", each unit generates an average of 35 kilowatts per hour, making a total of 1050 kilo-watt/hour.
