Hamma Desalination Plant

GE’s newest Desalination plant will be able to supply clean drinking water for more than 1 million people in Algiers, Algeria. Together with the Algerian Energy Company(AEC), the General Electric Company(GE) will fund most of this project, which will be one of the largest desalination plants in the world. The reverse osmosis process removes salt from seawater and is more efficient and cost effective than any other technology that exists today for delivering clean drinking water. Currently, portable water is only available for two to three hours each day for most of the population of Algiers. The project is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in November 2007. This is a great technology considering that two thirds of the planet is covered in water.
