Dow picks Fluor as EPC contractor for Saudi RO facility
T
he Dow Chemical Co has awarded Fluor Corp the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for its reverse osmosis (RO) manufacturing facility in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Located in Jubail Industrial City II at the Sadara Chemical Co complex, the new facility will manufacture a range of Dow RO products including Dow FILMTEC brackish water RO elements and seawater RO elements. The facility will supply the local Saudi Arabian market as well as the wider Middle East and Africa (MEA) region and markets with similar critical water needs, including Eastern Europe, India, China and South East Asia. “This state-of-the-art facility will bring enhanced capabilities and capacity to Dow’s RO business in Saudi Arabia and perfectly aligns to the Kingdom’s drive to offer increasingly diverse employment opportunities for Saudi nationals,” said Snehal Desai, global business director, Dow Water & Process Solutions. “This investment also complements our activities at the Dow KSA Research Center at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) where our research focuses specifically on RO solutions in combination with ultrafiltration (UF) pre-treatment for seawater desalination.” This is Dow’s first facility of this kind built outside the United States. The plant is expected to be completed by end of 2015.
Floating first for Veolia Water Technologies

eolia Water Technologies is to install a wastewater treatment plant on a floating platform based in Singapore. The project will involve Veolia designing and implementing an integrated solution to treat lead and brackish water before it is safely disposed into the sea. The customised plant will incorporate proprietary Veolia technologies such as the Actiflo Turbo
clarifier, Discfilters, and Hydrex coagulation and flocculation chemicals. Veolia Water Technologies says it is the first water solutions provider to install a wastewater treatment plant on a floating platform in South East Asia.
Koch Membrane Systems retrofits Texas water treatment plant
K
och Membrane Systems Inc has started-up the initial phase of its retrofit of the ultrafiltration system at the City of Del Rio’s water treatment plant in Texas, USA. Following successful testing of its TARGAII UF membranes, Koch Membrane Systems provided prefabricated rack inserts including manifolds, connectors and membrane cartridges that fit within the existing rack framework and used existing system controls. Koch Membrane Systems also provided installation and startup assistance. The full retrofit project is scheduled to be completed over the course of a year.
DESALINATION
Masdar selects four companies for energyefficient desal pilot
M
asdar has awarded contracts to Abengoa, Degrémont, Sidem/ Veolia and Trevi Systems to each construct a desalination plant as part of a pilot project in Abu Dhabi. The project is designed to develop and demonstrate energy-efficient seawater desalination technologies efficient enough to be powered by renewable energy. Each company will build and operate its own test plant to develop and demonstrate desalination technologies over the course of 18 months. As part of the pilot project, the four companies will also collaborate with the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, the research-driven graduate university in Abu Dhabi. “We look forward to working with these four leading companies as they break ground on new desalination technologies,” said HE Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, chairman of Masdar. “Seawater desalination
