[Photo by Wu Changqing/China Daily]The offshore nuclear power stations, including floating and submarine ones, can sail to where they are needed and be used for many different needs, including operating drilling machinery for offshore oil and gas fields, providing power supply to islands, as well as heating and desalination.
The membrane separation technology is a filtration process to remove ions, molecules or larger particles from water, and is used in a variety of industries, including steel, desalination and power.
They can be used to operate drilling machinery for offshore oil and gas fields, meet heating and desalination needs and run nuclear powered icebreakers, the announcement said.
The new company will be involved in maritime nuclear power research, development, building, operation and management, as well as power sales and seawater desalination.
The floating nuclear power plant, which can be installed in a section of the vessel, is often used to supply stable electricity not only to remote areas but large industrial facilities such as seawater desalination plants and offshore oilfield exploration rigs.
The power company with a portfolio of 13 power and desalination plants in five countries in Southeast Asia was sold to China General Nuclear Power Corp for $2.3 billion in 2016.
The company said it also provides clean and environmentally friendly energy for water desalination for coastal cities short of water.
"The Chinese are also constructing a desalination plant to cater to the need for clean drinking water of the residents of Gwadar, and after its inauguration, a substantial supply of potable water will be available for the area that has long grappled with water scarcity," Notezai said.
The company has also helped build a water desalination project in the city of Joao Camara in Rio Grande do Norte, providing 80 tons of purified water daily for local people who previously suffered from brackish water.
Between 2016 and 2020, emerging industries including seawater desalination, marine energy and marine biopharmaceutics saw their growth in added value average more than 11 percent annually, said Wei Zhiqiang, vice-president of Qingdao-based Ocean University of China.

The rapid expansion of nuclear plants has yielded additional advantages in heating, hydrogen production, seawater desalination, space exploration and deep-sea exploration.
It is a cost-effective reactor that can conveniently serve the distributed system in urban power supply and heating, industrial steam production and seawater desalination.
It has so far been applied in heating, seawater desalination and isotope production, as China goes full throttle into its green energy transition, Lin said.
Experts said that the rapid development of wave energy will not only provide clean power for remote offshore islands but also have a wide range of applications such as supporting marine observations, seawater desalination and treatment, offshore hydrogen production and deep-sea aquaculture.
The reactor could be used as a distributed energy source, in addition to meeting other needs such as seawater desalination, regional heating and industrial heating.
Nuclear energy and new energy will contribute to clean and low-carbon high-quality development and the application of clean energy will go beyond electricity to more areas including heating, cooling, hydrogen as well as seawater desalination, he said.
The 125-megawatt pressurized water reactor (PWR) design makes the facility fit for electricity generation, heating, steam production or seawater desalination.
这台功率为125兆瓦的压水堆（PWR）设计使该设施适用于电力生产、供暖、蒸汽制造或海水淡化。
He said nuclear energy could also be a disrupter for energy services in heating, hydrogen, desalination and other new applications in China beyond electricity.
A desalination plant next to the lake will also be connected to the reactors.
Lu Tiezhong, assistant general manager of China National Nuclear Corp and a member of 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, called for boosting the utilization of nuclear power in more energy-intensive sectors, from petrochemicals to steel, as well as heating, seawater desalination and isotope production, as China goes full throttle into its green energy transition.
The developer of power and desalination projects is managing around $76 billion worth of assets, of which about $40 billion worth has gained support from China, Lyu added.
