The electrical hell of desalination.
The real bottleneck in desalination isn’t water, it’s power.
We all know the narrative surrounding desalination: its primary challenge is energy consumption.
It is an energy-hungry industry. In fact, recent data suggests desalination accounts for roughly 20% of the entire water industry’s energy footprint worldwide.
But today, I want to talk about the “pain in the ass” that haunts every professional in this sector: the real chaos of the electrical system inside of Desalination Projects.
Today I share:

Plan B saves projects
Contracts matter as much as engineering
The coordination nightmare
Let’s go:
