Dr.
The Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, Assem El-Gazzar, met with representatives from DUPONT and IETOS to discuss one of the most significant modern technologies used in Egypt and around the world for the purification of drinking water and sewage treatment, technologies that rely on membranes of all kinds and are used in the processes of removing sediments and suspended matter, including ultra-filtration filters (UF-NF) and membranes used in seawater desalination (RO).
This occurred when Dr. Assem Al-Jazzar visited one of the research facilities in Barcelona, Spain that focuses on studies and the development of techniques and tools for seawater desalination, sewage treatment, and industrial drainage. The head of the National Authority for Drinking Water and Sanitation and the supervisor of the minister’s office.
Dr.
Assem El-Gazzar emphasised that, in light of the state’s keen interest in seawater desalination projects, the strategic plan for desalination through 2050, and interest in settling the technologies used, the Egyptian government is working to find solutions based on cutting-edge technologies to meet the needs in the drinking water and sanitation sector.
, as a result of the ongoing rise in water demand; As a result of the population growth, climate change, and accelerating rates of social and economic progress.
In the course of the meeting, representatives from DUPONT and IETOS gave a presentation that covered recent advancements in that field as well as the global experiences of the two companies in manufacturing all different kinds of membranes that can be used in sewage treatment or water purification systems.
the setting, the movie-making techniques, and the tests performed to gauge its viability and quality.
The minister stated that they discussed ways to transfer and localise these technologies locally, the challenges that membrane operation faces, the most recent technologies used to address them, the training required to improve and build the capabilities of workers and technicians in the drinking water and sanitation sector, as well as future collaboration in the fields of water desalination.
Additionally, there are numerous contemporary technologies for desalinating water that reduce energy consumption, support the best use of the water resources that are at hand, expand the number of seawater desalination plants, take advantage of private sector expertise, and support local industries that produce the components used at desalination stations.
Following the conference, Dr.
The minister of housing, utilities, and urban communities, Assem Al-Jazzar, commended the DUPONT and IETOS representatives for their assistance in advancing plans and long-term goals for the drinking water and sanitation industry. to put into action the technical research and initiatives necessary to realise the sector’s goals.
The transfer of cutting-edge drinking water purification technologies will be covered by Spain’s Minister of Housing.
