Water Desalination System for Hemodialysis – Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital

As part of its commitment to delivering innovative engineering solutions in the field of water treatment, Abdelsalam Yaseen Company – ETA has implemented a specialized project to design, manufacture, and install a dual-stage RO desalination system for low-salinity water, with a production capacity of 50,000 liters per day, to meet the needs of the hemodialysis department at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, Central Gaza Strip. The system was entirely manufactured at the company’s headquarters in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, using high-efficiency technologies and standards compliant with medical water protocols. A dedicated and isolated technical room was also constructed to protect the system and ensure its continuous operation under diverse environmental conditions. This vital project was funded by the World Health Organization (WHO) and carried out under the direct supervision of the Palestinian Ministry of Health, aiming to provide a reliable source of clean and safe water for dialysis procedures, thereby improving the quality of healthcare services provided to patients and ensuring the continuity of medical operations.

Technical Overview of the System

The installed system comprises two independent desalination units, each serving a distinct purpose within the hospital’s infrastructure:

🔸 Unit 1 – Double-Pass Low TDS Desalination System:

Production Capacity: 100,000 liters per day
Function: Supplies low salinity water for general hospital needs
Key Features:
- Double-pass reverse osmosis (RO) technology for high salt rejection efficiency
- Automated control via PLC/HMI interface
- Pre-treatment stages including sediment filtration, activated carbon, and antiscalant dosing
- Stainless steel piping and pressure-rated components for long-term durability

🔸 Unit 2 – Zero TDS RO System for Hemodialysis:

Production Capacity: 50,000 liters per day
Function: Produces ultra-pure, salt-free water for dialysis machines
Key Features:
- Advanced RO system with post-treatment polishing unit
- Integrated UV sterilization and bacterial control measures
- Fully compliant with international standards for dialysis water quality
- Continuous monitoring of conductivity, pressure, and flow rates

🏠 Supporting Infrastructure:

A dedicated, climate-controlled technical room was constructed to house and protect both units.
All equipment is designed to operate reliably under Gaza’s variable water pressure and challenging environmental conditions.
