Industrial Corporate Water StrategySetting the 2030 agenda Businesses are rethinking their water strategy as they move into the next decade. Many have achieved their original performance targets and learning from that experience are looking to new approaches to water as a driver of corporate value. It is a crucial moment for corporate water leaders to capture the attention of the C-Suite as the impact of climate change is felt across the value chain. This summit style round table discussion brings together some of the most forward thinking industrial water users from around the world to share experience and forge the way ahead. |

DesalWater Technology Idol What are the big ideas that have the potential to change the face of desalination and water reuse? Picking winners at an early stage is extremely difficult but Tech Idol has a remarkable success rate. We bring together five of the hottest ideas in desalination and water reuse and pitch them against each other in front of our judging panel. Which game changer will be crowned Tech Idol in 2020?
Judges:
Speakers:
PV-MSMD Desalination
Professor Peng Wang
![]() A process thatsimultaneously produces fresh water and electricity viamultistage membrane distillation (MSMD) and an integrated solar photovoltaic panel. The process, which was developedby a team from King Abdullah University of Science andTechnology (KAUST), has the potential to transform a conventionalpower plant from a huge water consumer to anelectricity plus clean water co-producer. Hybrid MEDAD Desalination
Muhammad Wakil Shahzad
![]() A hybrid seawaterdesalination process that combines an adsorption cyclewith a conventional multi-effect distillation (MED) systemto lower the top operating temperature to as low as 10°C(50°F) to boost water production, and employ solar. Thecycle integration is achieved by extracting vapor emanatingfrom last effect of the MED by an adsorption (AD) cycleto accommodate additional condensation-evaporation at alower temperature. The Barrel SWRO
Vincent Baujat
![]() A plug-and-play approachto seawater RO, which uses a large-diameter carbon steelvessel that is factory assembled and may contain over200 RO membrane elements, each of which is equipped with a digital sensor to enable operator monitoring. The arrangement allows for outdoor operation and a reduction in plant footprint. Solar Dome
David Reavley
![]() Fresh water is produced by evaporating a continuous flow of seawater fed into a geodesic dome constructed of steel and glass that measures up to 120m (394 ft) in diameter. Parabolic mirrors concentrate solar radiation on the dome’s structure, where it is conducted down to the lower dome to boiler the seawater. The resulting vapor is condensed as fresh water, while the brine is removed from the bottom of the dome. Desal Software-as-a-Service
Mike Dixon
![]() A secure, easy-to-deploy machine learning software package that yields desal plant energy savings. Using algorithms tailored to best predict efficiencies for a given plant, Synauta collaborates with operators to collect the correct data, and deliver a process equipment and instrumentation analysis. Plant flows are manipulated to ensure performance goals are met at a minimum energy input. Following an assessment phase, operators control inputs, and software is integrated with the plant SCADA system. |

DesalThe Dawn of Solar Desal
The tumbling price of solar power means that the bids for most major desal projects now include photovoltaic panels on every available surface. It can determine the difference between winning and losing but is it efficient? This session will hear from some of the leading authorities on solar power and desalination to map out their combined future.
