EGYPT – MULTINATIONAL HOTEL GROUP
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In a 5-star hotel in Egypt, a Sea Water desalination system treating sea water of 43,000 ppm with a capacity of 1,000 m³/day was put into operation in April 2019, covering the drinking water needs of hundreds of its customers.

CHALLENGES
TEMAK had to adapt and install the complete desalination system in a prefabricated area of the customer in the hotel. TEMAK had to also cooperate and train new people in one week. The seawater is stored in a tank and through the bidirectional feed pump and flow 101.4 m³/h is transferred to the turbidity filters to remove turbidity.
Dosing with antiscalant agent is performed to protect the reverse osmosis membranes. The water then enters the reverse osmosis system producing 42.6 m³/h desalinated water achieving a 42% recovery rate.
The system is equipped with an energy recovery device for maximum energy savings and with a CIP system for rinsing the membranes and for chemical cleaning performance when it will be necessary. Caustic soda is dosed to the product water to adjust the pH and then it is collected in the product water tank, where it is chlorinated before being delivered for consumption. The design temperature is 17-27˚C (annual sea water temperature variation for Alexandria).
