IDE Technologies
Desalination Company of the Year
What is it?
Israel's leading desalter, and one of the pioneers of thermal and membrane technology.
What has it done?
In 2007 it completed the financing of the 320,000m3/d Hadera SWRO desalination plant in Israel, contracted the 109,000m3/d Tianjin MED project in China, enjoyed other contract successes in India and the US, and successfully applied its vapour compression technology to the industrial cooling/snow making market.
Why is it shortlisted?
- IDE's achievements in both thermal and membrane technology in 2007 reflect a truly great desalination company.
- The water price achieved in the financial close at Hadera is, at 2.54 Shekels/m3, arguably the lowest in the world.
- IDE's continuous innovation at every level of the desalination process, from plant design to financial close and operations, guarantees an unremitting pressure on the price of desalination.
