USING RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR SEAWATER DESALINATION AND ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION IN THE SITE OCP MOROCCO
OCP is the world's largest exporter and producer of phosphate rock, In this context, OCP has adopted a new improvement plan which proposes to develop production of phosphate rock from 28 to 47 million tons in 2020. The horizon industrial advancement program of OCP excepted to increase water consumption of 73 to 181 million m3 year for its various operations. In this paper we will do a feasibility study to achieve a positive energy balance due to the energy collected generated by an exothermic system for sulfuric acid production in two chemical processing sites (Jorf Lasfar and Asfi) and renewable energy integration in two mining operation sites: Khouribga, Ben Guerir for meet the growing needs on energy. The principal purpose of this article is to develop an innovative idea of a desalination plant to produce fresh water from seawater by using renewable marine energy, principally hydrokinetic and wave energy. The main achievements will be connected with the environment protection, low maintenance and its accessibility to small communities.
