Once finished, it will double ACWA Powerâs desalination capacity in the area to 1.2 million cubic meters per day, as the firm already operates the Rabigh 3 IWP in the same area.
Wetico, a leading Saudi integrated solutions provider in water and wastewater sector, has announced that it has secured contracts for two seawater desalination plants in the Algerian cities of El Taref and Bejaia, each with a 300,000-cu-m-per-day capacity.
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.
The seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant includes a water distribution network, and is a part of the Jafurah gas development scheme.Â
The project has a design capacity of 80,000 cubic meters a day, and includes power and utility facilities, according to a MEED report.Â
It also contains an extensive water distribution network component, identified to extend 200 km. Â
By 2023, the plant is expected to have a power capacity of 270-320 megawatts. Â
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 kingdomâs residents, he added.
Hydraulic Injection Desalination (HID) technology in plants uses one third less energy top-of-the-line seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants, and ten times less than traditional thermal desalination facilities
Energy consumption in desalination plants is also referred to as the total specific energy consumption. HIDâs results indicate a step change against the most energy-efficient commercial seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination facilities, which consumes approximately 3 kWh/m3 and more than 10% improvement compared to the current Guinness book record for an SWRO pilot plant of 2.271 kWh to produce a cubic meter of water.
