DESALINATION
Nirosoft wins US$100mn Colombian desalination tender
P
acific Rubiales Energy Corp has selected Nirosoft Industries Ltd to design and construct a produced water desalination plant in Colombia. The US$100 million contract includes the operation and maintenance of the plant for 10 years. The plant will be located at Pacific Rubiales’ oil field in the Meta region of Puerto Gaitan and will produce 500 000 water barrels per day. The produced water, a by-product of the petroleum extraction, will be treated by the Nirosoft water purification system to meet environmental discharge requirements. Nirosoft’s treatment process will replace the current process where produced water is disposed of by deep well injection, and will provide desalinated water for agricultural use to grow trees, reducing costs and improving sustainability standards.
AES Arabia secures US$14mn Saudi desalination project
A
ES Arabia Ltd has won a US$14 million contract to design, manufacture, construct, commission and start-up a dedicated SWRO plant in Saudi Arabia. The facility will be able to produce up to 2752 GPM of fresh water for the King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) Research Park. The contractor for this project is China National Chemical Engineering Co (CNCEC) under the management of Saudi Aramco. Seawater will be sourced from a deep open intake and will be extensively pre-treated before it is pumped into the desalination plant. The desalted water will be further treated for the removal of boron and then re-mineralized to meet WHO standards. Although built for a research institution, the plant design and manufacturing will be according to the stringent standards followed in all Saudi Aramco oil & gas projects.
AES Arabia has previously built an 8000 CMD MBR sewage treatment plant and participated in the construction of the 52 000 CMD SWRO for KAUST.
VA TECH WABAG selected for Qatar desalination plant
P
unj Lloyd has commissioned India’s VA TECH WABAG Ltd to supply a US$10 million desalination plant and ultrapure water treatment system for Qatar Solar Technologies’ new industrial complex at Ras Laffan in Qatar. A new industrial complex is currently under construction at Ras Laffan for the production of polysilicones. The desalination plant will employ reverse osmosis technology and supply 8000 m3/d of water for the production process. An ultrapure system with deionisation and ultrafiltration will provide the super pure water needed for the most sensitive production phases.
Dow, SWCC collaborate on desalination research
T
he Dow Chemical Co and the Saline Water Conversion Corp (SWCC) have signed a commercial agreement to collaborate on desalination technology research. Dow and SWCC will now launch a pilot project to test the suitability of desalination technologies for conditions in the Arabian Gulf. The two companies will partner to test state-of-the-art desalination technologies developed by Dow Water & Process Solutions (DW&PS), evaluating their performance in the Arabian Gulf environment, including their ability to effectively handle factors such as high salinity and high temperatures. The tests will be conducted by the Saline Water Desalination Research Institute (SWDRI) in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia. SWCC is a government body responsible for desalinating seawater to increase the supply of potable water to coastal and inland cities in Saudi Arabia. It is the largest desalinated water producer in the world with 32 desalination plants that are responsible
