Hybrid Plants

Coupling Power generation with thermal and RO desalination technologies.

A SMART WAY TO OPTIMISE PRODUCTION COSTS

Having extended experience in both thermal and reverse osmosis technologies, SIDEM can offer its clients a combination of both solutions through hybrid plants.

The combination of power and water generation systems results from a production cost optimisation by the investor. In some countries, this optimisation is difficult to make due to large variation of power demand between summer and winter. Whereas water demand remains steady all year long, power demand may vary from 100% in summer to 30% in winter due to air conditionning systems power consumption.
