Desalination in Somaliland
High-efficiency reverse osmosis plant capable of supplying 30,000L of desalinated drinking water each day.
Aptech Africa recently commissioned a solar powered reverse osmosis water treatment plant in Caynabo, Somaliland.
The system has a nominal flow is 6m3/s. The flexotank capacity is 45m3/s which can fill at least 4 trucks daily, while four distribution taps are operational. The photovoltaic power supply is 41.08kWp. The water is extracted by pumps through piping to the hydraulic container. A series of valves were also installed to insure right operation of the pump.
The site for this project was site was selected because of its nearness to the well and because of its location at the center of Caynabo. Trucks come to pick water, and there are water troughs for the camels, so the local authorities helped to select the site.
The project will deliver fully automatic clean and affordable water to 15,000 people for at least 30 years, requiring only minor maintenance. Thanks to the plant’s 90% harvest rate on available PV net power the solution doesn’t require batteries.
