![]() A covered aqueduct feeds seawater to fill the sphere to ground level. The Solar Water innovation plan view: A sphere is half sunk underground, with 25 meters above ground as a glass dome. The brine resulting from the process gathers at the dome’s basis, which is then extracted and can be sold commercially, according to Solar Water’s website. The desalination plant will use solar water dome technology, which utilises concentrated solar power (CSP) to heat a dome steel structure to boil the seawater, evaporate and condense it, and precipitate it as freshwater. According to a report by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the cost of building the desalination plant is $0.34 (SAR 275) per cubic metre. Works on the desalination plant are expected to start in February and be completed by the end of the year. The desalination plant will use concentrated solar power to heat a steel dome that boils the seawater. Saudi Arabia has appointed the UK-based Solar Water PLC to build the first ‘carbon-neutral’ desalination plant in the city of Neom. Upcoming Webinars and Water: Heliostats (mirrors) surround a 25 meter tall glass dome to reflect concentrated solar heat (CSH) to a metal grid forming the top half of a “kettle” heating and distilling seawater fed in by covered aqueduct.All Research Papers – SolarPACES Conference 2014.All Research Papers – SolarPACES Conference 2015.All Research Papers – SolarPACES Conference 2016.All Research Papers – SolarPACES Conference 2017.All Research Papers – SolarPACES Conference 2018.All Research Papers – SolarPACES Conference 2019. ![]() SolarPACES Annual Conference Proceedings.TASK VI: Solar Energy and Water Processes and Applications.TASK V: Solar Resource for High Penetration and Large Scale Applications.TASK IV: Solar Heat Integration in Industrial Processes.TASK III: Solar Technology and Advanced Applications. ![]()
