An experimental center for the desalting of sea water, in which plants using every known approach will be installed for comparative studies, was inaugurated in Bari yesterday. Among the plants will be one using the principles developed by the Russian-born Israeli scientist, Dr. Alexander Zarchin. Prime Minister Aldo Moro, and many civil, military and religious officials took part in the inaugural.
The Zarchin direct freeze plant is being provided in part by the Israeli Zarchin Company. After it has been completed with Italian-built parts in La Spezia, it will be moved to Bari for installation. Israeli officials indicated hopes that Israel’s extensive research in this field would benefit from the findings in the Bari center.
