- Plant to be built in country’s western region of Shuaibah; will produce 400,000 tons of water a day
- 470 billion won deal lets 슬롯 사이트 expand into global seawater reverse osmosis desalination market
슬롯 사이트 Heavy Industries & Construction, a leading provider of seawater desalination solutions, has won a 470 billion won (US$422 million) contract to build a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant in Saudi Arabia.
슬롯 사이트 Heavy announced that it had signed a deal with Saudi Arabia’s Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) on March 29 to build the country’s largest-capacity seawater RO desalination plant in Shuaibah, located along the country’s Red Sea coast, about 110 kilometers south of Jeddah.
Under the deal, the company will undertake engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the construction project. Once completed, the plant is expected to produce 400,000 tons of water a day, equivalent to a daily supply for 130,000 people in the western part of Saudi Arabia.
Seokwon Yoon, Water BG Director and executive vice president of 슬롯 사이트 Heavy Industries & Construction, said: “We are excited to be able to extend our commitment of delivering our advanced solutions to help meet the growing demand of water and electricity in the kingdom by winning the new large-scale desalination project. Moving forward, we will continue to concentrate our efforts on expanding our presence in the global RO desalination market, which is expected to reach $4.5 billion in market size by 2020.”
The new project marks 슬롯 사이트’s re-entry to the Saudi Arabian seawater desalination market for the first time in five years: it won the Ras Al Khair project in 2010, the world’s largest desalination plant to date, and the Yanbu Phase 3 seawater desalination plant project in 2012.
Last year, 슬롯 사이트 also won a 1 trillion won contract to build the Fadhili combined cycle power plant, accelerating its advance into the Saudi Arabian energy market.
