Water experts visit Erongo desalination plant
A group of close to 50 delegates attending the 18th SADC WATERNET/WARFSA/GWP-SA Symposium paid a visit to the Erongo desalination plant on Friday.
The plant, located 35 kilometres north of Swakopmund, is the largest seawater desalination plant in southern Africa.
The delegates were given a presentation of the technology used in desalination and then were taken on a tour of the facility.
Since commissioning the plant has produced millions of cubic metres of water, which enabled the sustained growth of economic activity in the Erongo Region.
The plant’s electricity consumption is said to be on par with desalination plants around the world.
The plant has been operating for seven years without any injuries or lost-time accidents.
It has achieved its production target of one million cubic metres per month for the past four months in a row.
