Palestinian Experience in Membrane Technology Applications for Desalination and Effluent Reclamation Rashed Al-Sa`ed (Dr.-Eng.) Associate Prof. Env. Sci. & Engineering Water & Env. Studies Institute/Birzeit University, Palestine E-mail: [email_address] Regional Fair in Syria, Homs, 9-11 Sep. 2007 Project financed by the European Union
Outline Background Why apply membrane technology (MT) MT for water desalination in Palestine MT for WWT & effluent reclamation Palestinian R&D efforts in MT field Conclusions & recommendations
Background Rapid population growth (2.5-3.5 % annually) Huge gap between water supply & demand Water quality deterioration (slat intrusion, NO 3 ) Increased industrial and agricultural uses Limited access to available water resources ¡°hyrdopolitical issues=signed agreements¡± Institutional capacity in MT weak-R&D
Background (cont`d) water supply & demand
Background (cont`d) Water Quality Deterioration
Why Membrane Technology? - Applications in water & WW treatment Strategically option to sustain water supply Alleviate water gap as homeland security Reduce emergent pollutants-health issues Reclaimed effluent as additional resource Improve GW safe yield & improve GW quality Engage national institutions & industry in MT R&D Might improve regional water allocation
MT for Water Desalination in Palestine Current Desaltion Plants in
Capacity of Current Desalination Plants PE ? 59,361 Population served by DW? m3/PE.y ? 10.95 Annual DW per capita (3 L/d)? h/y ? 2000 Working hours 8/days; 250 d/year? m3/y ? 650,000 Annual productivity (m3)? ? 325 Total productivity (m3/h) 300 $/m3 75 95 1400 Gaza Industrial Zone, 2000 360 $/m3 40 60 1600 Al Braij Company, 99 300 $/m3 50 70 1700 AQUA Company, 99 250,000 65 80 2000 Khan Younis, Al-Sa¡¯ada, 98 500,000 50 60 2500 Khan Younis, El-Sharqi, 97 650,000 45 78 3100 Deir El Balah, 91 Capital/Treatment Costs ($; $/m3) Productivity (m?/h) Capacity (m3/h) Quality (TDS mg/l) Plant Name/Est. Year
MT for WWT & Effluent Reclamation One single Onsite Treatment System RO integrated with Activated Sludge Unit Located at Abu Dis University-Alquds R&D efforts- unit performance & system operation Technical/financial feasibility-questionable Effluent reclamation-salt & emergent pollutants
National R&D Capacity in MT National research institutes - PWA, EQA, 4 universities Local NGOs (3) and foreign agencies (1) Industrial sector (non) Published articles on water treatment (WT) and wastewater treatment (WWT)
National R&D Capacity in MT Research topic articles: Fundamental Research (FR); General Research (GR)
Lack of funds & governmental support Lack of specialized & experienced professionals Poor equipped R&D facilities Weak industrial engagement Socio-economic-political road blocks Lack of knowledge and poor public awareness National R&D Capacity in MT - Major constraints
Conclusions Wide MT application is governed by overcoming the major constraints mentioned Economical benefits ruled the MT endorsement Socio-political issues play a major role at national and regional levels Re-allocation of water uses can enhance MT application for drinking water supply Alternative energy sources are still behind image
Recommendations Enhance capacity building in MT applications Provide national funds for research facilities Establish national/regional networking Promote large scale MT application projects Encourage industry participation/involvement Conduct awareness campaigns/workshops Encourage young professionals in MT field
