Ceará signs an unprecedented partnership with an Israeli company to supply equipment for the desalination plant, which will be responsible for benefiting 700 people
O Desalination plant design of water that will be installed in 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, world leader in desalination plants, this Wednesday (23), so that plant equipment and technology will be provided soon.
Desalination plant in Ceará will receive investments of R$ 500 million
The schedule of the enterprise projects that the plant will be completed within two years, receiving investments of R$ 500 million. The plant that will have equipment from Israel is the biggest project in Brazil in this sector, and it is estimated that more than 700 people will benefit. These people are located in the following neighborhoods: Praia do Futuro, Serviluz, Caça e Pesca, Dunas, Aldeota, Vicente Pinzon, Varjota, Cidade 2000 and Papicu.
According to the director of the infrastructure marquee and president of the Águas de Fortaleza consortium, Renan Carvalho, the partnership with the Israeli company Business Development Manager, IDE Technologies, which has desalination plants in its portfolio in Chile, the United States, Taiwan, Singapore, India and in its country of origin, adds more technical capacity to the project in Ceará.
Carvalho also explains that Israel is a world leader in this type of technology, and around 80% of the drinking water consumed by the country's population comes from sea water. The partnership signed with IDE brings even more confidence in the success of the desalination plant, as the best and most modern products from abroad are being added to Fortaleza, Ceará.

The contract for the plant was signed in July last year, and is still in the study and licensing phase so that the physical works can begin. The plant, when fully operational, will diversify Ceará's water matrix, helping to supply Fortaleza and the metropolitan region.
The system that generates drinking water using marine water is an essential alternative for the complementary supply of water for human consumption, as it does not require regular rainfall or climate variation, and the technologies used are autonomous and can produce water with superior quality. to the standards provided for in the country's legislation.
So far, it has not been said how the desalination plant, which will receive equipment from Israel, will work, but there are two ways to carry out the process: one of them is distillation through Thermal energy where salt water is heated to produce steam, which is then condensed and collected as fresh water.
The other method is the use of membranes, so that salt is filtered out of the water through the use of reverse osmosis, to pump salt water through semipermeable membranes that capture salt and allow only fresh water to pass through.
Another way to generate drinking water
In addition to the desalination plant, a designer named Cody Soodeen developed a machine that can produce drinking water of great quality and is still capable of eliminating toxins present in the human body, bearing in mind that the water we consume may be contaminated. The machine does not need any faucet or tank with dirty water, as it is capable of extracting water from the atmosphere.
According to the creator of the invention, in the city where he grew up, the water was contaminated by various bacteria, impacting the health of the community and even his family. That's how Cody decided to develop another way to buy water, and the innovation is capable of generating up to 10 liters of water a day.
