Algeria has continued its somewhat unorthodox approach to major desalination planning this week, awarding a $126.9 million contract for the design, supply and commissioning of the 300,000m3/d Cap Blanc SWRO desalination plant to China’s Hangzhou Water Treatment Technology (HWTT).

a financing agreement in the amount of 10 million Euros for the purchase of a desalination plant with a production capacity of 5.000 cubic meters per day, to meet the needs of the island of Boa Vista”, announced ,Olavo Correia who is also the Minister of Finance.

The project design is expected to have a capacity of 1,500 m3.
Construction work includes the implementation of networks, conveyor lines, distribution networks and household connections. This will contribute to the provision of potable water and the elimination of water scarcity in the areas of Al-Khader and Al-Darraji and their neighboring villages.

Arizona officials voted to advance a $5.5-billion project to build a water desalination plant, 200-mile pipeline and associated infrastructure as part of a plan to address drought-driven water uncertainty in the state. But growing controversy around the plan and the method of implementation threatens to derail the proposal.
IDE says the plant could supply up to 3 million households—more than the 2.6 million households currently in Arizona. The plant would initially supply less water per year, about 300,000 acre-ft, according to the company.

AIC has submitted an unsolicited proposal to supply the Metro Cebu Water District (MWCD) with 30 million liters per day of desalinated bulk water. It intends to utilize Keppel Infrastructure’s expertise and technologies in building and operating a desalination plant in the province wherein raw saltwater will be treated using the reverse osmosis water treatment technology to produce safe drinking water.

This financing for the climate adaptation scheme will contribute to providing part of the government of Jordan contribution to the project amounting to (250 million Jordanian dinars (US$ 352 million) to the Aqaba Amman Water Desalination and Conveyance Project (AAWDCP) that will supply an additional 300 million cubic meters of water each year after desalination and transferring it from Aqaba to Jordanian capital Amman and the rest of provinces.
Saudi Water Partnership Company (SWPC) has invited expressions of interest (EOIs) from leading developers to finance, build, operate, and maintain a key seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination water project near Jubail Industrial City.
The plant will have a total capacity of 600,00cu/m potable water per day. The power supply to the project will be provided from Saudi Electricity Company’s high-voltage network, SWPC added. 9 January 2023 has been set as the deadline for submitting the bids, the utility developer stated.
The project scope includes implementation of more than 316 km of conveyor and main lines, and the construction of operational reservoirs with a capacity of 1.5 million cu m in addition to projects to improve water networks.
The project, which is due for completion in 2025, will be beneficial to more than four million of the kingdom’s residents, he added.
Keppel Infrastructure provides environmental solutions that contribute to sustainable development and climate action. It is behind the iconic and multi-awarded Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant, Singapore’s first large-scale, dual-mode plant that can treat seawater or rainwater drawn from the Marina Reservoir and produce up to 137 million liters of fresh drinking water daily.
