IDE's Ashkelon seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant


Feb. 10, 2015 -- IDE Technologies, a global water treatment specialist, announced that its seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant in the coastal city of Ashkelon, Israel, has reached a world record with its water production process.

The facility, which was the largest and most advanced desalination plant in the world when it completed, has produced and delivered 1 billion m3 of high-quality tap water since the start of its operation in 2005.

With a capacity of up to 330,000 m3 per day, the plant produces around 13 percent of the country's domestic consumer demand -- equivalent to 5 to 6 percent of Israel's total water needs.

The plant has also set a new benchmark by achieving one of the world's lowest prices for desalinated water and ultimately expanded by approximately 20 percent in 2010.

During the last nine years, the plant has consistently addressed the water needs of more than 1 million people across the region.
