Point Paterson Desalination Plant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Point Paterson Desalination Plant is a planned municipal-scale solar-powered desalination plant with land-based brine disposal just outside Port Augusta, South Australia. The plant will integrate renewable energy and desalination technologies to create environmentally-friendly electricity and water. In particular, the project will significantly reduce the usual greenhouse impacts associated with grid electricity demand for desalination.[1] The project has attracted the interest of internationally renowned climatologist Professor Stephen Schneider, who has now joined the Board of Acquasol.[1]
