Engines from 2.5 MW to 25 MW can be used for desalination stations, said Mikhail Remizov, Deputy General Director of the corporation
KUBINKA /Moscow region/, August 26. /TASS/. The United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of the Rostec state Corporation) is working on the option of creating stationary stations using gas turbine technology for desalination of water in the Crimea. This was announced to TASS during the Army-2021 forum by Mikhail Remizov, Deputy General Director of the UEC.
Currently, the state program to solve the problem of providing Crimea with water provides for possible solutions for desalination, but their share is small.
"If we focus not only on the current needs, but also on the prospective needs of the Crimea in water supply from the point of view of the development of tourism, industry, agriculture in the horizon, say, until 2030, then a significantly larger amount of water resources may be required than what the current plan will provide. In this case, there is a potential for applying solutions using gas turbine technology for desalination, " Remizov said
He explained that gas turbine technology is needed because desalination based on membrane technologies leads to a high demand for energy generation. In the case of desalination based on the distillation principle, gas turbine engines can be part of energy desalination complexes that produce both fresh water and electricity.
Remizov specified that engines from 2.5 MW to 25 MW can be used for desalination stations.
The international military-technical Forum "Army-2021" is being held at the Patriot exhibition Center near Moscow from August 22 to 28.
