The Secretary of the Presidency assured that the machine does not enter the plane “by 15 centimeters.” Its arrival will take weeks.
The Secretary of the Presidency, Alvaro Delgadoconfirmed the bad news that the desalination plantwhich would provide immediate solutions to the lack of drinking water in the metropolitan area, it will arrive weeks later because it does not enter the hercules plane that would transport the machine to the Uruguay.
Last week, Delgado communicated some of the emergency measures taken by the government to try to alleviate the water crisis that has compromised the drinking water of the metropolitan population.
Among them was the purchase of a desalination plant that would help alleviate water scarcity by improving the quality of current drinking water – which is affected by the lack of reserves and which was solved with the increase in salinity – removing excess chloride and sodium.
However, the bad news came from the American city of houston, when they confirmed that the plant did not enter the Hercules plane. “By 15 centimeters apparently it does not enter the Hercules”, Delgado specified at a press conference.
According to the Secretary of the Presidency, the first measures sent by the company indicated that the machinery would enter the plane. However, the company adjusted the measurements, causing the Hercules to be small. Given this, Delgado assured that the machine is in the country “In a few weeks”.
How is the desalination plant?
The plant has a capacity of 150,000 literswhich would supply 150,000 people, and it could be useful to provide water to hospitals and sanatoriums, with trucks that transport the fluid to different parts of the country that need it. The idea of acquiring this machinery came from the Technological University (UTEC) that will provide the training and advice of the machinery.
The initial idea is to try a single plant to see how it works and if they are really useful for the situation you are experiencing. Uruguay. For this, the possibility of renting them is even being evaluated and, if they work, acquiring more than one plant.
