Desalination plant now Langstrand Buurtwag delivered 50 million cubic huldig sy wagpos in metres of desal-water Sharlien Tjambari

The Erongo Desalination Plant (EDP) reached the 50 million cubic metres of desalinated water produced on 10 November this year. What makes this achievement so much more important and pacesetting is the fact that it has been achieved with not a single lost time injury (lti). The plant which started operating in 2010 is owned by Orano Mining Namibia which is also the owner of the Orano uranium mine (former Trekkopje Mine). The desalination plant is managed by Nafasi Water (formerly known as Aveng Water) and today supplies an estimated 75 % of Swakopmund and the uranium mining industry's fresh water supply. The plant is situated 35 kilometres north of Swakopmund near Wlotzkasbaken. EDP is the largest reverse osmosis desalination plant in Southern Africa and has a capacity to produce 20 million cubic metres of desalinated water per annum, with ample capacity to increase desalinated water production to 26 million cubic metres per annum. In fact, there is also scope to enlarge the plant's capacity to 45 million cubic metres of water by constructing an extension which is already part of the original design. The desalination plant was originally constructed to supply the Trekkopje (now Orano) uranium mine with water. Desalination is accepted as the one and only alternative if Namibia's fresh water supply is to keep ahead of both human and industrial demand. The fact that the Orano mine remains in care and maintenance due to the weak uranium world market Continued on page 2
