Prof. Schmidt to Direct JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The experimental water de-salting plant built on the basis of the inventions of Alexander Zar- chin was put unto full operation this week, the Ministry of De- velopment announced formally. Previously, units of the plant had been tested separately to iron out the usual initial bugs, the Ministry reported. It added that the experimental plant will require several months of op- eration before sufficient reli- able data are accumulated as the basis for the first large scale de-salination plant. Such a plant would produce about 1,000 cubic meters. of de- salted water a day. The pilot plant is expected to provide enough data to make possible fairly accurate calculations of the costs of such water when it is produced on a large scale. Engineers of the American Fairbank-Whitley C o m p a n y, which signed an agreement for the development and use of Zarchim's inventions, cooperat- ed in putting the experimental plant into initial operation. They will also take part in the evaluation of data and drafting of plans for the first large-scale plant. The Ministry said all basic parts of the plant were made in Israel.
