Tampa Bay Seawater Desalination Plant, Florida, USA
Despite a troubled history, including the bankruptcy of three of the companies involved and a dispute over ownership and control which reached the Federal Courts, the Tampa Bay plant is now expected to be fully operational in early 2008 – some six years behind its original schedule.
The largest seawater desalination facility in the United States, it is intended to produce an initial 95,000m3 of water per day, with a future planned expansion to increase this by a further 37,000m3/day to help reduce the growing demand on the area’s aquifers.
