Ceará Signs Unprecedented Partnership with Israeli Company for the Supply of Desalination Plant Equipment, to Benefit 700 Thousand People

The Desalination Plant Project that will be installed at Praia do Futuro in Ceará is taking shape, and the company responsible for the plant announced the signing of a contract with IDE Technologies from Israel, the world leader in desalination plants, on Wednesday (23), for the equipment and technology of the plant to be provided soon.

Desalination Plant in Ceará Will Receive Investments of R$ 500 Million

The schedule for the project estimates that the plant will be completed within two years, receiving investments of R$ 500 million. The plant, which will have equipment from Israel, is the largest project in Brazil in this sector, and the estimate is that more than 700 thousand people will benefit. These individuals are located in the following neighborhoods: Praia do Futuro, Serviluz, Caça e Pesca, Dunas, Aldeota, Vicente Pinzon, Varjota, Cidade 2000, and Papicu.

According to Renan Carvalho, the director of the infrastructure marquee and president of the Águas de Fortaleza consortium, the partnership with the Israeli company IDE Technologies, which has desalination plants in Chile, the United States, Taiwan, Singapore, India, and its home country, adds more technical capacity to the project in Ceará.

The contract for the plant was signed in July last year and is still in the study and licensing phase so that physical works can commence. The plant, when fully operational, will diversify Ceará’s water matrix, assisting in the supply for Fortaleza and the metropolitan region.

The system that generates potable water through seawater is an essential complementary water supply alternative for human consumption, as it does not depend on the regularity of rainfall or climatic variation, and the technologies used are autonomous and can produce water with quality superior to the standards provided in the country’s legislation.

So far, it has not been disclosed how the desalination plant, which will receive equipment from Israel, will function, but there are two ways to carry out the process: one of them is distillation using thermal energy, where salty water is heated to produce steam, which is then condensed and collected as fresh water.

The other method is the use of membranes, to filter the salt from the water through reverse osmosis, to pump salty water through semi-permeable membranes that capture salt and allow only fresh water to pass through.

Another Way to Generate Potable Water

In addition to the desalination plant, a designer named Cody Soodeen developed a machine that can produce potable water of excellent quality and is also capable of eliminating toxins present in the human body, considering that the water we consume may be contaminated. The machine does not require any faucet or reservoir with dirty water, as it can extract water from the atmosphere.

According to the creator of the invention, in the city where he grew up, the water was contaminated with various bacteria, impacting the health of the community and even his family. That’s how Cody decided to develop another way to acquire water, and the innovation is capable of generating up to 10 liters of water per day.
