Bahrain and UK universities sign MoU on desal and reuse research
03 May 17 by desalination
The University of Bahrain has signed memorandums of understanding with two UK universities to co-operate on research into desalination and water reuse technologies.
It follows a scientific co-operation forum organised by the British Council in February and November 2016 that covered issues of water, energy, and food.
The MoU with Oxford University, UK, is for co-operation on research into water treatment by reverse osmosis. The agreement will enable Bahraini researchers to access Oxford University’s expertise in developing solutions to reduce energy usage in desalination.
A second MoU, with Aston University, UK, is on connecting RO desalination systems to renewable energy sources.
