One of the central issues that face the world over
the coming decades will be the availability of potable
water. This is another issue which, for now, is felt
more acutely in the Gulf than in Europe. PAL
Technology recently built a desalination plant for
Dubai Electricity & Water Authority. The plant
utilises an advanced technique of reverse osmosis
which represents a new departure in water treatment
in the region by converting sea water in to potable
water.
PAL Technology has also been responsible for
a considerable number of housing development
projects throughout the Emirate. The
implementation of eco-friendly living systems are
a priority in such developments, as exemplified by
the adoption of the “Neopour” insulation technique
which originated in Germany. This particular
building technique means that the insulation
guarantees reduced air conditioning costs and hence,
mitagates the environmental impact.

Of course, green credentials are all very well and
certainly identify a company as progressive and
socially-conscious. One should be mindful however,
to keep an eye on progressive technologies, just to
keep one informed. Which brings us to an interesting
footnote on one of PAL’s other interests, Robotics.
PAL Robotics produced a humanoid robot with face
recognition and navigation systems., The robot has
been deployed in the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition
Centre (ADNEC) in order to direct delegates at the
Exhibition Center.
