TechnoPark, the science and technology facilitator of Economic Zones World, said it has signed a land lease agreement with First Sea Mining Factory to set up its unique recycling facility in Dubai.

The First Sea Mining Factory, which uses cutting-edge technology from IES Germany, will implement advanced one-of-its kind Seawater Brines Recycling Technology that will completely eliminate the harmful pollution caused by brine discharges from Seawater Desalination Plants.

The establishment of the new company is a landmark step towards ecological preservation of UAE's marine seawater resources and its fishing industry, said a top official.

First Sea Mining Factory will collaborate with TechnoPark, the Ministry of Environment and Water, Government decision makers and the water authorities concerned for the recycling of industrial waste brine which is a by-product of the desalination process.

Dr Martin Padisak, chairman and CEO of IES Germany said: 'We are proud to be the first in the world in Sea Mining, this is happening in Dubai and it is also the first time in human history, when harmful industrial waste resulting from seawater desalination plants is recycled for financial benefit, keeping the balance of the marine environment.'

Another advantage of this unique Recycling Technology is the potential to develop other industries due to minerals and salt received from the recycling process, such as gypsum, table salt, potassium-magnesium fertilizer, magnesium and other valuable minerals, he pointed out.

Ibrahim Mohamed Al Janahi, chief commercial officer of Economic Zones World – UAE region said: 'Building up the country's desalination capabilities and water conservation efforts is a huge priority for TechnoPark.'

'This includes fostering R&D and innovation in eco-friendly and energy efficient technology. We are very pleased to welcome First Sea Mining to TechnoPark.'

'The company's pioneering technology – driven work is the kind of innovation needed in this country to help us develop as a sustainable society,' he stated.

Ghaith Mohd Al Ghaith, chief executive officer of First Sea Mining Factory, said: “The technology adapted in the factory is totally in line with the Government's vision for environmental issues, especially Sheikh Mohammed, in four major points namely - adopting advanced technologies in the industrial sector, addressing environmental issues, harnessing the potential of the sea and lastly being the best at what we do.”-TradeArabia News Service
