The Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, Dr. Assem El-Gazzar, met with representatives from DUPONT and IETOS to review one of the most significant modern technologies used in Egypt and around the globe to treat sewage and purify drinking water. These technologies rely on membranes of all kinds.
In the desalination of seawater using a reverse osmosis (RO) system, it is employed in the processes of removing sediments and suspended debris, including ultra-filtration filters (UF-NF) and membranes.
This occurred while Dr. Assem Al-Jazzar and Dr. X visited a research facility in Barcelona, Spain that focuses on study and development of saltwater desalination technologies and equipment, sewage treatment, and industrial wastewater.
Major General Ihab Khader, Head of the National Authority for Drinking Water and Sanitation, Mr. Mohamed Essam El-Din Ramadan, Assistant Minister and Supervisor of the Minister’s Office, and Sayed Ismail, Deputy Minister for Infrastructure Affairs.
Dr.
Assem El-Gazzar emphasised that the Egyptian government’s strategy aims to find answers based on cutting-edge technologies to address the needs in the drinking water and sanitation sector, particularly in light of the government’s keen interest in seawater desalination projects, its strategic plan for desalination until 2050, and its interest in settling technologies.
used as a result of the ongoing rise in water demand brought on by population expansion, 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 water purification or sewage treatment systems.
the setting, the film-making techniques, and the tests conducted to gauge their strength, longevity, 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.
As part of the transformation to a green economy, multiple contemporary technologies are being used to desalinate water. These technologies include energy rationalisation, maximising the use of water resources, expanding the number of seawater desalination plants, utilising private sector expertise, and supporting local industries for the components used.
Housing Minister: We want to transfer the most recent water filtration technologies.
