Abu Dhabi: The Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi (EAD) is testing a new system to desalinate sea water using solar energy.
The trials are being conducted at 30 locations across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The new solar desalination techniques is a zero-carbon process which helps reduce cost of water treatment, especially in desert areas where dust and high temperatures impair the efficiency of solar panels used in the existing desalination system.
“The experimental solar-powered desalination facilities put in Hameem and Sweihan show us that we can reduce the negative impact of water desalination on the environment as well as help to reduce the cost of water production,” the agency said in a statement.
