Background
Ten kilometers south of Pula lies Medulin – a hub of tourist activity. It boasts beautiful hotels, tourist resorts, mobile home camps, and an entertainment center. The camp is surrounded by greenery, green areas, and various horticulture. The camp features a complex of football fields built to UEFA standards. To maintain all this horticulture during the summer months, large quantities of water are needed for irrigation. To meet the high demand for water in the summer, the group’s leaders have decided to build a desalination plant with a capacity of 300 m³/day.
Challenges
The water from the well is seawater and contains chlorides that exceed the maximum allowed values prescribed by the Drinking Water Quality Regulations. In order to use the water for irrigation and other technical purposes, it is necessary to install a desalinator that will process seawater from the drilled well through desalination to produce technical water of drinking water quality for use within the camp.
Solutions
3M supplies a 3M SW seawater desalination plant using reverse osmosis, with a capacity of producing 300,000 liters of drinking water per day. The water is distributed through a 3MHYDRO hydrostation with continuous pressure maintenance and a network of pipelines for horticultural irrigation. The unit is housed in a facility that includes a seawater reservoir, a drinking water reservoir, and a machine room.
Results
The plant produces 300,000 liters of drinking water per day for the needs of the camp.
