During the conference, participants will share their experiences about the water challenges in CSP plants and learn more about the technological solutions MinWaterCSP has to offer.
The conference programme will be accompanied by an exhibition where industrial stakeholders will inform participants about their products and services.
In addition to the presentations on the second day, a site visit to the full-scale test facility in Stellenbosch will be organised, where two main aspects of a novel hybrid (deluge) cooling system, developed within MinWaterCSP, are tested:
* a 7.315 m (24 ft) diameter axial flow fan and
* a deluge water circulation system.
Experts from CSP, cooling, mirror cleaning and water technology will meet to make CSP technology ready for regions with severe water scarcity.
The event also aims to inspire stakeholders from power utilities, power plant operators, technology suppliers, research institutes and academia who are working in the fields of concentrated solar power.
Discover applicable solutions for mirror cleaning and power plant cooling and meet future business partners to face technology challenges and make CSP technology fit for arid regions!
