Briefly
Consists of "tube" which was designed by engineers Khalili company of solar panels provide 10,000 megawatts of energy annually, pumping sea water through the process of electromagnetic filter, for 1.5 billion gallons of drinking water for the city.
Access to the tube
Is it generating power plant or technical design to the public? In fact, this picturesque architectural masterpiece, which are called "tube" may erase the borders between the two.
"Tube" reached the final stage in the technical design for power generation Initiative (LAGI) in 2016 which was held in Santa Monica, California, has designed the monument floating near the coast, it is not limited to the appearance stunning at the horizon, but it is based desalinate seawater relying on solar energy.
Where the request of the contestants this year, creating designs to generate electricity and clean water, so they can be placed near the port of Santa Monica. The goal is to prove that the growing energy requirements of the current is not an excuse for architectural ugliness.
Electromagnetic filter
Among the contenders who have accepted the challenge, Abdul Aziz Khalili Canadian & Co., specializing in the construction of processing plants for the food and packaging industries.
Of the most important traditional desalination technology problems, such as reverse osmosis, it consumes a lot of electricity, and require the use of expensive mechanisms, and generate contaminated water and industrial waste undesirable. Compared with them, design Khalili company of solar panels consisting believes 10,000 mega watts of power annually, pumping sea water through the process of electromagnetic filter, for 1.5 billion gallons of drinking water for the city.
Engineers in design summary says: "electromagnetic filtering process depends on the application of isolated electromagnetic field, the tubes where seawater is going on, which leads to the separation of the salts and impurities. Characterized the process as fast and efficient in energy consumption."
In addition to drinking water plants, it can be shiny silver tube water filter salts by 12% for use in the thermal baths.
Engineers say: "The drinking water pumped to the beach, while the salt water are returned to the sea through intelligent design excretion system, relieve all the common problems associated with re-saline water into the sea. This represents a tube development in the future of the water."
