SWPC starts production at Yanbu 4<\/strong>:<\/strong> The Saudi Water Partnership Company (Swpc) has launched its operations at the 450k cbm \/ day Yanbu 4<\/a> desalination plant, according to a statement<\/a> earlier this week. <\/p>\n

What we know:<\/strong> The SAR 3.1 bn (USD 827 mn) project is owned and developed by a consortium led by Engie \u2014 which holds a 40% stake \u2014 along with local private player Nesma<\/a> and Mowah<\/a>, with a 30% stake each. It is powered<\/a> by 20 MW of solar energy and has a 42 km water transport system and a water storage tank with a two-day capacity. The plant uses reverse osmosis to supply water to Makkah and Medina. GE developed the substation<\/a> connecting the national grid to the project solar plant.<\/p>\n

More desalination from SWPC underway:<\/strong> The company issued tenders<\/a> last month for the finance, development, operation, and maintenance of the desalination water project in Jubail Industrial City, located next to the existing plant units \u2014 Jubail Phase 1, Jubail Phase 2, Jubail 3A and 3B. The tenders were issued to the pre-qualified bidders for the Jubail 4 & 6 Independent Water Projects, which will have a total capacity of 600k cbm\/day.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- The Kingdom is ramping up its desal projects: <\/strong>Last year, Acwa Power, Gulf Investment Corporation, and Al Bawani Water and Power Company inaugurated the solar-powered Jubail 3A independent RO water desalination plant<\/a>. EPC contractor Alucor also signed an agreement with South Korea\u2019s industrial equipment manufacturer Doosan last week<\/a> to provide mechanical, electrical and instrumentation installation work for the Shuaibah 3 desalination project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
