Diversification Of The Ceará Matrix

The desalination plant that will diversify the water matrix of the Ceará and Metropolitan Region (RMF) is getting closer to putting Ceará at the forefront of seawater desalination solutions for human consumption.

After a series of steps related to the project’s scope, the bidding document regarding the actual concession of the plant underwent public consultation and hearing last month.

The area for the plant’s location, one of the main points of the project, has also been defined: it will be located at Praia do Futuro, one of the city’s postcards. According to the schedule, it should be launched by the end of January 2020.

Cost Of The Plant

The desalination plant will be located at Praia do Futuro, with the main access via Avenida Dioguinho and Rua Francisco F. Di Ângelo and has a production capacity of 1m³ of desalinated water per second. According to the Infrastructure Director of Marquise, the cost for this production ranges between R$ 4 and R$ 5 per m³.

One of the solutions considered for reducing this cost in the future is sustained operation with the aid of renewable wind or solar energy. According to Renan Carvalho, the operation will initially be powered by electricity, but there are plans to change the energy matrix.
