EMAAR BEACHFRONT DISTRICT COOLING PLANT

Emaar Beachfront DC plant makes innovative use of seawater intake and outfall system
Conventional DC systems use potable and treated sewage effluent water for cooling purposes. EDC’s Emaar Beachfront DCP utilises seawater, substantially reducing the water footprint to almost zero. The design of the seawater system and location of the intake and outfall pipes have been done by specialised marine consultants and EDC engineers, with simulation based on Cormix Modelling to address environmental concerns. Further, Emaar has installed state‑of-the-art chlorine dioxide generators to control aquatic growth in the pipes, ensuring that only non-toxic chemicals get released that do not endanger the ecology. Monitoring is done through SCADA in-built systems, with digital memory, artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, enabling optimal control and performance. The entire system functioning has been approved by the Dubai Municipality coastal department.

One of the most technically challenging projects DELTA Coatings has undertaken. The system comprised of the following:

1. DELTAPrime 2K SF Primer along with DELTAPrime Filler.
2. DELTAShield HP 500 PW @ 4mm thickness.
3. Polyurethane foam 40 density @ 10 cm thickness.
4. DELTAShield HP 500 PW @ 4mm thickness.

A truly unique green project with environmental protection and ecology as a top priority. DELTAShield HP 500 PW has a WRAS(Water Regulatory Advisory Scheme) approval for use with potable water @ 85°C.
