On Friday, September 29, 2023, students from the E & F classes of the 1st Elementary School of Agia Marina visited to the Almyros Desalination Plat of Malevizi Municipality after its recent expansion. Eighty students arrived with models, banners, songs, and numerous questions as part of the school’s environmental project “Adopting the Almyros River.”
The warm welcome began with the President of Malevizi Water & Sewage Public Authority (DEYAM), Mr. Liadakis and continued with the Director of DEYAM, Mr. Kougioumtzakis, who presented the facility and welcomed the students, explaining the importance of water as a valuable resource and the efforts made by the Municipality and DEYAM to produce 5,000 cubic meters of potable water from salty River Almyros through the two desalination units.
Simultaneously, engineers and technicians from SYCHEM showcased desalination systems and provided specialized knowledge to the future chemical engineers and environmentalists of Malevizi.
During the students’ visit, Mr. Menelaos Bokeas, Mayor of Malevizi, and Mr. Menelaos Skouloudis, President of the Primary School Committee, were also present.
The smiles and enthusiasm of the students highlight the significance of such initiatives and the value of the exemplary environmental desalination park. To top it off, the kids filled their bottles with fresh desalinated water from the Park’s special dispenser (Castalia – named after the famous ancient Greek spring).
SYCHEM takes great pride in its contribution to such events
