Abstract

This article constructs a cost calculator to estimate the economic competitiveness of solar-powered desalination in Saudi Arabia. Solar desalination is defined as a plant that obtains solar energy from a closed system. This is done to focus the investigation on desalination technologies, rather than the efficacy of replacing conventional energy sources with renewables in an integrated electricity grid. The results suggest that current options for solar-powered desalination are not cost-competitive compared to incumbent technologies in Saudi Arabia. The article offers insight into where costs must decrease before solar technologies are economically competitive in the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Ground level concentrations due to emissions from the Jeddah dual-purpose plant (sea water desalination and electric power production) have been estimated using the standard Gaussian plume model (GPM). The main types of pollutants emitted from the plant are: Hydro-carbons HC, carbon monoxide CO, Nitrogen oxides NOx and sulfur dioxide SO2. Thermal stability classes for Jeddah city are estimated for the months of the year (2007). It was found that the dominant stability class for the city is the moderately unstable class B (according to pasquill classification). The results of stability classes' evaluation together with the meteorological wind-data are used to predict the ground level concentration (glc) of the pollutants against the downwind distance from the plant location. The month and day of each calculated value of the pollutant concentration during the year (2007) have been specified. The maximum (glc) and their positions on the ground for each pollutant are found.

3. A review of environmental governance and its effects on concentrate discharge from desalination plants in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Abstract

The most likely environmental impact of concentrate discharges (in most instances twice the concentration of the ambient environment) leaking from desalination plants on local marine ecosystems has been controversially discussed for many years. Increasing water demand and lack of renewable natural water resources in Saudi Arabia also result in greater dependence on desalination and consequently amplify the impact on marine environment and multifactorial ecosystems in near-field areas of desalination discharges. Accurate scientific baseline data should furnish information on various factors such as intake- and outfall locality, brine (concentrate) discharge and chemical characteristics (i.e. effluent concentration, mass flow rates (flux)), local effects, and even cumulative effects of desalination activities, at least on a regional and even on a national scale. Even if such data were available, in many cases they are non-transparent and are not even accessible, or tend to be overlooked as a result of ambiguous desalination-related policies. This paper focuses on national environmental regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and how such regulations help control the flow of concentrate discharge into the receiving waters.

*SALINE water conversion plants, *SOLAR energy, *RENEWABLE energy costs
Abstract

It seems like a natural fit for desert dwellers: Use the sun to scrub salt from groundwater or seawater and make it suitable to drink. Armed with oil money, the Saudi government's Saline Water Conversion Corp. (SWCC) has already built the world?s most extensive network of desalination plants. However, like many facilities in Saudi Arabia, those plants are powered mostly by fossil fuels. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

The article presents an infrastructure risk report for Saudi Arabia as of June 22, 2010. According to the report, water shortages in the country could worsen unless the government implements its strategy for the construction of more desalination plants. It talks about the efforts of authorities to improve the telecommunication sector in the country. The report states that state-owned national oil company Saudi Aramco is seeking to reduce costs on several of its planned projects due to changes in the international environment.

Abstract

The article assesses the infrastructure risk of Saudi Arabia. If the government fails to implements its aggressive strategy for constructing more desalination plants, it expects the nation's water shortage problem to worsen. It relates that despite the steps taken by authorities to improve the functioning of the telecommunication sector, telephone service in Saudi Arabia is still inadequate. Some infrastructure projects have failed to meet their completion deadlines due to lack of financing.

Abstract

The article discusses the Saudi Arabian government's development of solar-powered water desalination plants as part of an initiative to use green technology to increase water desalination capacity. The facility under construction in the city of Al-Khafji is described as the largest solar-powered water desalination plant in the world. Saudi Arabia's possession of the money and energy required to build and operate the desalination plants is said to partly come from the surplus of about 100 billion dollars in oil trades annually. Government support for the project includes the privatization of the plants' construction and operation and encouragement of international technological collaboration.
