Mulpha Australia Reverse Osmosis System From IDE Technologies

Mulpha Australia, the owner of Hayman Island, has selected the IDE PROGREEN? reverse osmosis system from IDE Technologies to provide high-quality desalinated water to the island resort.

Hayman is a luxury, five star island resort located on the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.

Mulpha selected IDE PROGREEN™ from IDE Technologies based on its modular, chemical-free concept and compact size, that delivered a 'desalination plant-in-a-box' while enforcing low energy consumption requirements.

Mulpha Australia's Director of Group Asset Development & Projects Greg Timar said: "We are pleased to acquire this modular unit from IDE. As a result of its 'plug and play' abilities, the plant should be up and running in a relatively short time. An important aspect in the decision to award IDE the new plant was the ongoing operation and maintenance support to be provided to Hayman from the IDE Australian office. We are optimistic about the desalination benefits we will gain and IDE's ability to address our critical needs for water capacity under restricted energy consumption and low operation and maintenance costs."

The IDE PROGREEN™ modular Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination solution provides high-quality water while minimising the impact on the environment by eliminating the use of chemicals in the pre-treatment and desalination processes. The system is compact and flexible, which makes it easy to transport and install while considerably reducing operational costs. The IDE PROGREENTM features a patented RO Membrane Direct Osmosis Cleaning (DOC) system, for reduced energy consumption and stable performance.

IDE Technologies CEO Avshalom Felber said: "Working with Mulpha on this new project reinforces the value of IDE PROGREENTM to meet the needs of delivering affordable drinking water to remote island locations while providing a solution that is sustainable and environmentally-friendly to the wider region. This project is a great example of IDE's ability to help resolve water shortages, meet energy requirements and provide superior cost-effective solutions. Partnering with Mulpha is particularly pleasing as it continues the relationship established by IDE and Hayman in 1985 in the supply of the island's current thermal desalination plant which is to be replaced."

Under this new agreement, IDE will operate and maintain the desalination plant at Hayman for ten years.
