Strengthening water availability through seawater desalination
Technologies behind seawater desalination to tackle water scarcity challenges in coastal areas.
This Session will focus on operators and technical experiences dealing with the desalination challenges. It will tackle several technological challenges and lessons learned from past and current projects. One of the focuses will be brine. It is often mentioned as a negative externality of desalination but one of the speakers will present a unique solution on brine valorisation to reduce its negative impact. This experience sharing session will allow the audience to interact with the speakers via a Q&A Session and will provide technical insight on seawater desalination.
The program is available here.
