As per the terms of the contract, Metito will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the 3,500m3/day plant.
According to Metito, the project is âsignificantâ for Fujairah due to the portâs strategic location and sophisticated infrastructure, which enables businesses across the region to expand their commercial footprints, both locally and internationally.
The project consists of two standalone greenfield RO seawater desalination plants to be located on Saadiyat Island and Hudayriat Island. Both plants will desalinate seawater using low-carbon intensive RO technologies to provide a combined total of 100 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD), equivalent to 455,000 cu m/day, said a statement from Ewec.Â
Emirates Water and Electricity Company (Ewec)Â has invited companies to submit an Expression of Interest for the development of two new seawater desalination plants in Abu Dhabi.
The two plants in Saadiyat Island and Hudayriat Island will provide nearly 100 million imperial gallons per day of water to about 180,000 households in Abu Dhabi, using low-carbon intensive reverse osmosis technologies, Ewec said in a statement on Monday.
Abu Dhabi-based startup Manhat, founded in 2019, is developing a floating device that distills water without requiring electricity or creating brine. It consists of a greenhouse structure that floats on the surface of the ocean: sunlight heats and evaporates water underneath the structure â separating it from the salt crystals which, are left behind in the sea â and as temperatures cool, the water condenses into freshwater and is collected inside.
ACWA Power announced the commencement of operations for the first phase of Al Taweelah Independent Water Plant (IWP) with the production of 454.6 thousand cubic metres of desalinated water per day, reaching 50 percent capacity of the plant.
Connected to the Abu Dhabi network in December 2021, Al Taweelah now provides 100 million gallons of desalinated water per day, and will eventually reach 200 million gallons per day, making it the worldâs largest RO facility with a capacity of 909,200 mÂł/day.

Abengoa said its consortium with top engineering and construction company SepcoIII, has begun commercial operation at the 909,000 cu m/day Taweelah desalination plant, loctaed 45 km north of Abu Dhabi.
The Taweelah desalination plant has passed the contractual tests for Acwa Power, the leading company in the development, investment, ownership and operation of power generation and desalinated water production plants.
With the completion of the first phase, the desalination plant, which is located within the Taweelah power and water generation complex, is now producing 450,000 cu m/day of desalinated water.
