MILO’S DESALINATION
SEA WATER DESALINATION PLANT USING WIND ENERGY ON MILOS ISLAND, GREECE
THE LARGEST INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT ON THE ISLAND
ON MILOS ISLAND, GREECE THE LARGEST INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT ON THE ISLAND
The seawater desalination plant on Milos lsland in Greece, powered by wind energy, is a state-of-the-art ΒΟΟ (Build, Own, Operate) project, the first of its kind in the country. Lt secures the potable water supply of the island, improving substantially the quality of life of the inhabitants while offering further local development opportunities, such as tourism, small industries etc.
Up to the plant commissioning in the summer of 2007, the island used non-potable water of poor quality, transported by water tanker boats from Athens, mixed with brackish water from local water drillings.
The state-of-the-art reverse osmosis plant produces top quality potable water, meeting the demand of the island on a year-long basis. The operation of the plant does not disturb the fragile local environment nor the small autonomous power grid, since it is powered by a Wind Turbine.
ΤΗΕ BASICS OF ΤΗΕ PROJECT
- Seawater Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant, producing 4.500 m3/d of potable water, after two consecutive expansions materialised by the company, covering the demand of the island even during peak season, since it is a highly touristic area.
- Wind Turbine Generator of 850 kW, inWind Turbine Generation of 850kW installed in the existing grid-connected wind farm of Aeoliki Milou S.A., in the area of «Koutsounorrachi».
- Α complex of four (4) WaterTanks for storing potable water, with a total capacity of 5.000 m3. The tank complex is connected to the municipal water network of the island.
- Water Pipeline 2.8OOm long, connecting the Desalination Plant with the Tank Complex.
- Software and Hardware System (SCADA), managing the efficient remote monitoring, control and operation of the Desalination Plant and the Wind Farm, in harmony with the autonomous power system of the island.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The construction cost of the Project is approx. 6 million €.
