For this reason, Shuqaiq 3 SWRO was awarded a prize in the Desalination Plant of the Year category. Construction work on the plant was completed in January 2023 in record time despite COVID-19 problems. It is one of the biggest seawater desalination plants using reverse osmosis technology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, capable of supplying 2 million people in the Asir and Jizan areas. The plant, which is already producing water at full capacity, produces 450,000 cubic metres of potable water per day, making it a milestone in sustainable and innovative desalination.

Abengoa achieved 100% availability during the Dependable Water Capacity Test that established the Commercial Operation Date on the 28^th of February, following on the successful completion of the 30-day Reliability Test Run. The plant has been producing 600,000 m³/day of drinking water to meet the demand of a population equivalent of 3,000,000 inhabitants and represents the first project launched by Saudi Water Partnership Co. in the Eastern Province.

Saudi Water Partnership Company (SWPC), the principal off-taker for water and wastewater projects in Saudi Arabia, has named the consortium of ACWA Power, Haji Abdullah Alireza & Co (HAACO) and Al Moayyed Contracting Group (AMCG) as the preferred bidder for its Rabigh 4 Independent Water Plant (IWP) project.

The project, located in Rabigh, 180 kilometres northwest of Makkah, on the Red Sea coast, involves the construction and operation of a 600,000 cubic metres per day (m3/day) desalination project and storage tanks with a total capacity of 1,200,000 m3 as well as extension and connection to […]

The power generation company closed a record-breaking 2.4 million cm3/day of water desalination volume, in line with a press release, via four reverse osmosis megaprojects in the Middle East forcing ACWA power’s overall water volume higher to 6.4 million cubic meters.

The firm says it has earned a reputation for delivering desalination solutions using RO technology that emits 6.5 times fewer GHGs than thermal desalination.

ACCIONA has revealed that it has ramped up to full production of water during the final testing of the Al Khobar 2 desalination plant. The infrastructure major said that the plant can produce 630,000cu/m of potable water per day, which is enough to meet the requirements of three million people.
