Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh will host the Future of Desalination International Conference (FDIConf 2022).
It is the first global gathering of its kind that explores the prospects and solutions for the future of water in the world to develop the industry and research and propose sustainable solutions.
The three-day event, “Desalination in Space”, is being organized by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) and will be held on September 11.
Policymakers, innovators, financiers, marketers, operators, contractors, developers, and technology suppliers from around the world are set to participate.
The event will draw a roadmap for the development of the unconventional water resources industry until 2030 through workshops and a 3D presentation on desalination in space, undersea and in snowy areas, and virtual simulation stations that operate without humans.
It seeks to present a progressive and ambitious reading of the future in the field of water desalination, in line with advanced research, to benefit from space sciences and related experiments.
Experts will discuss new visions related to water desalination activity according to the available information, requirements and future research in the field of space.
It aims to suggest solutions that may held reduce carbon emissions by 50%, developing revenues in the industry, and controlling the cost of water desalination to reach the world record price of $0.32 per cubic meter.
The event will kick off with a ministerial session and an inaugural session, as well as an accompanying exhibition on water desalination.
Relevant parties will sign agreements and memoranda of understanding to underscore Saudi Arabia's pioneering role in water desalination.
The SWCC was established in 1974 as an independent governmental institution with a legal personality, mandated and entrusted with desalination of seawater and delivery of desalinated water produced to various regions across the Kingdom.
