The project was carried out by Acquedotto del Fiora under the NRRP (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) &#8220;Green Islands&#8221; call and funded by the European Union through Next Generation EU. The investment, worth over \u20ac5.3 million, makes the plant more efficient and sustainable for both residents and tourists. <strong>Ai Engineering<\/strong> was fully responsible for the Detailed Design on behalf of RDR.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The works included the installation of three new reverse osmosis modules and a new microfiltration section, the optimisation of the filtration system and plant layout, upgrades to the electrical system, and a new 74.4 kW photovoltaic system. These changes have cut electricity consumption by around 11% per year and reduced energy-related CO\u2082 emissions by 10%. The desalination plant ensures the island&#8217;s water self-sufficiency all year round. In winter it supplies about 5 litres per second to a resident population of roughly 1,300. In summer, when tourist numbers can reach 15,000 people a day, output rises to as much as 25 litres per second.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The inauguration was organised by Acquedotto del Fiora together with the Municipality of Isola del Giglio. Attendees included Eugenio Giani, President of the Tuscany Region; Matteo Arcenni, President of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park; Riccardo Malpassi, Prefectural Commissioner; Roberto Renai and Anna Varriale, Chairman and CEO of Acquedotto del Fiora; and Alessandro Mazzei, Director of the Tuscan Water Authority (Autorit\u00e0 Idrica Toscana).<\/p>\n<p>Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiora.it\/news\/dissalatore-di-isola-del-giglio-inaugurato-il-revamping-pnrr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.fiora.it\/news\/dissalatore-di-isola-del-giglio-inaugurato-il-revamping-pnrr\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On 22 September, the upgrade of the desalination plant on Isola del Giglio (GR) was inaugurated.
