Indian water technology company VA Tech Wabag (WABAG) has been awarded a major contract valued at 1.2 billion Saudi riyals ($317 million) for a vital seawater desalination project in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract involves the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) of a large-scale seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant in Yanbu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract was granted by the Saudi Water Authority (SWA), previously known as the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The desalination plant will have a capacity of 300 million liters per day (MLD), which is equivalent to 300,000 cubic meters per day (m\u00b3\/day). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facility is set to be constructed on a greenfield site on the west coast of Saudi Arabia, south of the Red Sea-facing city of Yanbu al-Bahr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project, scheduled for completion within 30 months, includes the full scope of design, engineering, supply, construction, and commissioning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plant will deploy Dual Media Filters (DMF), followed by a two-pass reverse osmosis process and remineralisation to ensure high-quality potable water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are extremely honored and proud to secure this mega order from our esteemed client, SWA,” Mittal stated. “This project is a key contributor to the ambitious Saudi Vision 2030,” said Rohan Mittal, Head of Strategy & Business Growth for the GCC at WABAG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Saudi Water Authority is at the center of regulating and enhancing the sustainability of the water sector in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It oversees more than 40 desalination plants that collectively produce over 11 million cubic meters per day and manages over 139 ground and surface water purification stations, which produce an additional 4 million cubic meters per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
