Professor Bader Shafaqa Al-Enezi, a faculty member in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the College of Life Sciences, has invented an advanced environmental system called the "Submersible Multi-Jet Fluid Jet Reactor" which aims to reduce the environmental impact of desalination plants and achieve environmental sustainability in seawater.

The innovation relies on distributing highly concentrated brine (brine) through a set of submersible jets designed to effectively mix the solution with seawater, while increasing the concentration of dissolved oxygen, thus contributing to maintaining marine ecological balance. The system represents a qualitative improvement over previous studies, as it takes into account the effect of sea currents on the distribution process. 

A locally scaled experimental model was designed and manufactured and used in the College of Life Sciences laboratory to simulate its application on the ground at the outlets of desalination plants in Kuwait. 

It's worth noting that this model features smart technologies such as a wave maker, an automatic bubble generator, sensors to measure salinity and oxygen, and a backlit display that highlights water flow. The results of this project were published in the international specialized journal Desalination, reflecting the status of the innovation and its importance in supporting environmental efforts in Kuwait and the region. 

On this occasion, Prof. Bader Shafaqa Al-Enezi thanked both the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences and Kuwait University for their support. He also thanked the Research Sector at Kuwait University for recognizing this invention and honoring it as one of the patents that the State of Kuwait is proud of.
