Noise mapping of industrial sources
Noise is often one of the environmental variables where it seems more difficult to guarantee full compliance with legal limits in complex industrial situations and/or in other multi-source environments. This paper describes the application of noise mapping techniques to industrial sources, such as factories, power plants, wind farms, showing the potential of its use, both at the design stage as ...

Wind powered desalination - Project references - Case study
Mekong Delta pilot installation for decentral wind powered water desalination for irrigation Climate change worldwide affects the availability of fresh water for irrigation. Declining inflows of fresh water and rising sea levels aggravate salt intrusion in aquifers in estuaries, which often host strategic agricultural resources. Coastal and estuarine areas are often remote from adequate power ...

Report Predicts Explosion of Off-Grid, Zero-Emission Green Energy Desalination
Innovations such as green power generation and increased desalination efficiency expected to reduce cost impediments A new report by IDTechEx, “Desalination: Off Grid Zero Emission 2018-2028,” predicts exponential growth of off-grid, zero-emission desalination in the next decade. The report suggests the market will reach $35 billion by 2028, up from very little in 2018, with ...

The electricity–water nexus: is a crisis imminent?
Several recent studies have warned that there will be widespread water shortages in many regions of the USA in the near future largely because of high demand for water in the production of electricity. This study reviews studies addressing electricity generation and water availability and concludes that electricity production is not likely to lead to water shortages in most regions for ...

Is Desalination a Key to Africa’s Water Future?
Attention is shifting to desalination in Africa as droughts worsen and better technologies become available Across the continent of Africa, water demand is going up due to growing populations and climate change-associated drought. As a result, desalination is getting more attention from investors and decision-makers. Many now believe it’s poised to solve many of the continent’s water ...

Sustainable production starts with compressed air
Compressed air is an expensive form of energy, since most electricity used for power generation is converted into heat. Further losses downstream make compressed air the #1 utility to focus on when you want to start saving energy in your production plant. Compressed air – air pressed together as in the tires of your car – is one of the most commonly used forms of energy in ...

U.S. desalination industry grows since 2000; seen as essential to meeting supply needs
With supplies of clean water becoming more scarce in certain areas and demand increasing, desalination is on the rise in the United States, water professionals told BNA. Half again as many municipal desalination plants were built between 2000 and 2010 as were built in the preceding three decades, according to research by water sector consultant Mike Mickley that was published in 2012 in the IDA ...
