  2. Mena Water Outlook, Part II • Study objectives • Identification of water gap • Potential of solar powered desalination to bridge the gap • Study approach • Key criteria for technology selection • Basic features of selected desalination technologies • Definition of typical plants • Current water situation in the countries of the MENA region • Expected water gap in until 2050 • Costs of desalinated water • Potential of CSP to supply the required energy (separate presentation) • Energy needs for desalination in the MENA region by country • Focus on renewable energy sources - more specifically on CSP • Implementation scenario • Definition of typical plants • Potential of CSP to supply the required energy • Cost estimates 6543P07/FICHT-6981353-v1

  3. Desalination & CSP • Main driversfornewdesalinationprojects • Extent of water gap • Financial strength of country (e.g. % of GDP spent for desalination) • Experience with existing desalination facilities • Attractiveness to investors (political stability) • Development aid • Main driversfornew CSP projects • Peaking energy prices and undesired dependency on fossil fuel • Limited availability of fossil fuel sources • Reduction of carbon footprint • Attractiveness to investors (political stability) • Government incentives and regulations 6543P07/FICHT-6981353-v1

  4. Desalination & CSP • Key considerationsfordesalinationplants • MED, MSF and SWRO desalination technologies are well-proven • Significant improvements achieved (i.e. energy efficiency) • Capital and energy intensive • Footprint of secondary importance • Key considerations CSP plants • CSP still in development status, including storage capacities • Operational constraints due to limited solar radiation, back-up required • Capital and energy intensive • Footprint significant • Is CSP the bottleneck? 6543P07/FICHT-6981353-v1

  5. Desalination & CSP • Design constraintsfordesalinationplants • Desalination plants are best operated at base load mode • Design constraintsfor CSP plants • Variable steam supply from CSP depending on solar irradiance (day/night) • Fossil-fired back-up power plant • Expensive heat storage • Maximum live steam temperature is 370°C (compared to 480-560°C) • Relative large footprint, especially for higher Solar Multiple (SM) Plants • Largest CSP capacity to date ~ 100 MWe 6543P07/FICHT-6981353-v1

  8. MED: Key design considerations (I) • Capacity • Unit production capacity (current maxium: 38,000 m³/d) • Number of duty / standby units • Energy demand • Electrical energy demand (1.5 to 2.5 kWh/m³) • Heat demand (order of magnitude: 70 kWh/m³) • Steam demand calls for cogeneration of water and power • Temperature profile • Temperature of heating steam (upper process temperature) • Seawater temperature (lower process temperature) • Number of effects (performance ratio) 6543P07/FICHT-6981353-v1

  9. MED: Key design considerations (II) • Durability • Plant availability and service time • Material selection (e.g. Titanium tubes in top rows and alu brass tubes in below rows) • Operational features • Robust in regard to seawater salinity and bio-fouling potential • High distillate quality • Supplier market • Major MED Suppliers: SIDEM (Veolia); others are following 6543P07/FICHT-6981353-v1

  13. SWRO: Key design considerations (I) • Operational features • Large membrane area and narrow flow cross section cause susceptibility to bio-fouling • Pre-treatment process to be adopted to the seawater conditions • Seawater salinity and temperature affect the power demand • No perfect salt rejection – usually a second pass required • Energy • Electrical energy demand (order of magnitude: 4 kWh/m³) • Absence of heat demand allows for stand alone configuration • Method of energy recovery (Pelton turbine, turbocharger or isobaric system) 6543P07/FICHT-6981353-v1

  14. SWRO: Key design considerations (II) • Capacity and plant design • Plant capacity (current maximum: 500,000 m³/d) • Modularity allows a high number of process configurations (e.g. train or centre design) • Durability • Plant availability and service time • Material selection (e.g. super duplex for high pressure section) • Supplier market • Major Suppliers: Befesa, Cobra/Tedagua, Degremont (Suez), GE, Hyflux, IDE, OTV (Veolia) 6543P07/FICHT-6981353-v1
