MAEK-Kazatomprom LLP operates sea water desalination plant in Aktau, Mangystau from 1967. Now its power comes to 74,000 m 3 /day. Earlier it was a part of combined combinate with Nuclear plant and gas electric power stations. Also in Aktau there is membrane technology water desalination plant Kaspiy, which power comes to 20,000 m 3 /day
A proposed alternative to desalination in the American Southwest is the commercial importation of bulk water from water-rich areas either by oil tankers converted to water carriers, or pipelines. The idea is politically unpopular in Canada, where governments imposed trade barriers to bulk water exports as a result of a North American Free Trade ...
In 2011 the volume of water supplied by the country's 27 desalination plants at 17 locations was 3.3 million m3/day (1.2 billion m3/year). 6 plants are located on the East Coast and 21 plants on the Red Sea Coast. 12 plants use multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) and 7 plants use multi-effect distillation (MED).
The south Asian nation, now the most populous in the world, is among many countries that have built huge plants to desalinate sea water. Other countries, including Singapore, are collecting and ...

[18] [19] Utirik Atoll in the Pacific Ocean has been supplied with fresh water this way since 2010. [20] Single-phase desalination processes include reverse osmosis and membrane distillation, where membranes filter water from contaminants. [15] [17] As of 2014 reverse osmosis (RO) made up about 52% of indirect methods.
The Namwater Desalination Plant, is a sea water desalination plant under development in Namibia. The facility is being developed by Namwater, the national water utility parastatal company of Namibia. It is intended to address the severe water scarcity in the middle Namibia coastal area, in the Erongo Region, and in the capital city of Windhoek ...
In addition to these large plants, there are around 30 small mostly brackish water desalination plants that desalinate about 30 million m 3 /year. Most of these installations are in the Arava and the Negev. The largest of them (~11 million m 3 /year) is located in Eilat and desalinates brackish water and Red Sea water for use of the city's ...
