Isle\u2019s pre-feasibility review helped a UK water utility prepare for future water challenges<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The UK has seen water resources come under increasing pressure from climate change, population growth, and stricter abstraction limits. While hotter and drier summers and more variable rainfall are reducing water reliability, demand is increasing in many regions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One utility is exploring decentralised \u2018manufactured water\u2019 options in order to help build resilience. Small package desalination systems are one example, offering a flexible way to boost supply when and where needed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The utility wanted to explore how this decentralised, containerised desalination model could work with a final effluent dilution approach for coastal brine discharge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isle carried out a pre-feasibility review of this approach for our client. Our team reviewed regulation and technology options, as well as site, environmental, and feasibility factors and next steps. This has given the client the confidence to move forward into a full feasibility and outline design stage.<\/span><\/p>\n
