The firm added new production capacities of up to 2.4 million cubic meters per day of desalinated water through four reverse osmosis megaprojects in 2022, the statement added.
This increase is the largest annual addition in the field of desalinated water production in the company’s history, bringing the capacity to 6.4 million cubic meters across 16 projects in four countries.
The port authority’s guiding commission, in a heated, hourlong special meeting Tuesday, voted 5-2 in favor of paying $62,025 in permitting fees to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, effectively kicking off the process to seek permission to intake seawater for the proposed 50 million-gallon-per-day facility.
Spanish infrastructure major Acciona has achieved a key milestone in the construction of Al Khobar 2 desalination plant, ramping up production during final testing to its full capacity of 630,000 cu m of potable water per day, enough to meet the needs of three million people.
The Belmont Desalination Plant was announced last year as part of the Lower Hunter Water Security Plan and will have the capacity to pump up to 30 million litres of water per day, even during drought.
Minister reviews progress of the ₹1,516.82-crore project at Nemmeli and asks the CMWSSB officials to complete the work by July; Minister also visits the proposed site at Perur for building a 400 mld desalination plant
The Sorek 2 project, the largest water desalination plant in the world, is on the starting line, and already seven companies, including four foreign ones, have registered for a preliminary call for tenders to put this ambitious project in place. This plant, which should start operating in eight years, will desalinate 200 million cubic meters of seawater per year. With the other desalination plants already present in the country, Israel will in future be able to produce 85% of its annual drinking water consumption.
Furthermore, the two companies will carry out joint research on various CCUS projects which encompass biological and chemical conversion, mineralization, and storage of carbon that are feasible in Saudi Arabia, he added.
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Saline Water Conversion Corp. has achieved a new milestone by increasing its daily production from 5.9 million cubic meters to 6.3 mcm of desalinated water.
The seawater desalination plant will be located adjacent to the Manyar Smelter Project. It will produce over 1,400 m3/hr of desalinated seawater to support the copper smelter and precious metals refinery. Designed to process 1.7 million tonnes per year (MTPA) of copper concentrate, the $3 billion Manyar Smelter is anticipated to be the world’s largest designed single line copper processing facility.
CARBONCO and SWCC have agreed to cooperate on the adoption of CCUS technology, which captures carbon from power plants operated by SWCC and utilizes it in the seawater desalination post-treatment process. Both parties plan to collaborate across the CCUS business development, including commercial CCUS plant construction, based on business feasibility analysis and basic design research for the application of CCUS technology. Furthermore, the two companies will carry out joint research on various CCUS projects which encompass biological and chemical conversion, mineralization, and storage of carbon that are feasible in Saudi Arabia.
