Leehu HaCohen, CEO of BlueGen, spoke at the 2050 Environment Conference in Tel Aviv
emphasizing how long-term regulatory stability combined with entrepreneurs collaboration is the only way for Israel to meet international waste management standards.
MRC operates a power station in Alon Tavor, Northern Israel, where electricity production levels must adhere to the requirements set by Israel’s Ministry of Energy, particularly regarding peak electricity consumption fluctuations, especially during summer. BlueGen Water’s solution utilizes two types of water sources—effluent and tap water—to ensure a constant water supply to the station.
BlueGen Water to showcase its expertise in water, wastewater, and reuse solutions, including:
Nedtex was awarded a contract by TWC for the construction and operation of the Jibei Island SWRO desalination plant to produce 600 m³/day of desalinated water. One of the challenges encountered was the requirement for a creative design due to logistical limitations stemming from the island’s small-sized port
Toscopaper, a small brown paper mill in Tuscany, sought to achieve river-quality effluent discharge while facing space constraints due to its old plant configuration. A new WWTP, employing Aqwise Technologies MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor) technologies, replaced the existing clarifier. This innovative solution accommodates peak demands and calcium content, with potential for future expansion.
Zuvamesa, Spain’s largest orange processing company, faced the challenge of increasing its effluent treatment capacity without expanding its facility’s size. Moreover, there was a critical need to reduce the average wastewater treatment costs. In partnership with SUEZ WATER Spain, which has collaborated with Zuvamesa for over five years on the plant’s operation and maintenance, a sustainable and cost-effective solution was developed using Aqana’s (Bluegen water Subsidiary) DACS® technology.
In 2009, Ashdod Oil Refinery embarked on a project to construct a second power plant, CO-GEN 2, equipped with a dual-fuel fired 60MW Gas Turbine Generator and an Energy Recovery Heat Exchanger. A critical component of this initiative was the establishment of a new deionized water plant to serve the turbine’s water injection system and meet the refinery’s internal needs. The plant aimed at producing treated and demineralized water, vital for boosting power generation efficiency and reducing NOx emissions.
