About NCEDThe Australian National
Centre of Excellence in Desalination (NCED) leads and coordinates Australia’s
research in desalination technology. Through the NCED, Australia is building
national capacity and capabilities in desalination with a dual focus on
breakthrough fundamental research and applied research with a goal of
delivering meaningful improvements at commercial scale. |
|
|
Ground-breaking researchFor Australia, any
rainfall-independent water security strategy requires widespread utilisation
of desalination technology. NCED leads ground-breaking research in optimising
and adapting desalination technology for use in Australia’s unique
circumstances, developing suitable small-and large-scale brackish water
desalination technology for inland installations and reducing desalination’s
carbon footprint. |
|
|
Facilities for researchers and industryThe NCED offers 15 laboratories,
offices, lecture and seminar rooms and pilot plant facilities at the
Rockingham campus of Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia. These
facilities are available to collaborating researchers and industry for
developing and prototyping new desalination technologies. NCED can be the
first point of contact for international researchers seeking collaborative
partnerships through its network. |
|
|
Working togetherThe Australian National
Centre of Excellence in Desalination works collaboratively within a network
of universities, research organisations, industry and government. Working
together, the NCED develops energy efficient desalination technology,
provides facilities to researchers and industry, commercialises resultant
technologies, provides high quality postgraduate and post-doctoral research
opportunities, and promotes public acceptance of alternative water sources. |
|
|
Commercial servicesThe NCED provides
commercial testing and research services to water utilities, the desalination
industry, government, engineering consultants and industrial desalination
users. Unique pilot plant facilities and conveniently located laboratories
are available to industry for product development and testing. |
|
|
Partnerships and collaborationsThe
NCED seeks international partnerships with industry research consortiums,
government directed research efforts and international coordination bodies. By
developing a relationship with the NCED, international organisations can find
additional synergies, form collaborative research partnerships, and gain
access to the network and resources of the NCED. |
