SUMMARY
Self-funded by the Municipality of an Island, ΤΕΜΑΚ undertook to complete the entire works for a new Desalination Unit, including environmental permitting, for supplying potable water. The particularities of this project lay in the difficulty in drilling seawater, as well as the limited project delivery time.
THE CHALLENGE
The particular region was supplied with drinking water by a TEMAK Brackish Water Desalination Unit installed in 2014. Due to the drought suffered by the island in recent years, the well that was supplying the area deteriorated tenfold in water quality and could no longer yield water in the required quality and quantity. This not only stopped the supply to the settlement, but also caused frequent wear on the electromechanical equipment in homes and hotels. The challenge was to start-up the unit before the pick of the tourist season.
THE SOLUTION
ΤΕΜΑΚ selected a suitable area for installing the plant, designed the entire system within a single container, and delivered it fully commissioned within just 90 days.
THE RESULT
The project benefited the residents as well as tourists, which is a tourist area with many hotels.
