Nine months is the period of time the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) and the National Water Company (NWC) have agreed to design and build 15 avant-garde production stations in Saudi Arabia, reports the Saudi Gazette.
The agreement between the two entities will ensure that the cities and governorates of the Eastern Region are supplied with about 76,000 cubic meters of desalinated water per day, drawing on the technical and engineering capabilities in tandem with the research caliber of SWCC, par excellence.
SWCC and NWC will establish and operate highly efficient stations for desalinating borewell water, which enhances the localization of the desalination industry and the sustainability of supply with high efficiency and reliability.
SWCC will be responsible for the design, implementation, commission, operation and self-maintenance of these innovative stations.
SWCC will also provide the best solutions and practices that best contribute to raising efficiency, improving drinking water quality and increasing production rates, provided that NWC distributes the produced quantities of desalinated water to customers and stakeholders across all cities, governorates and centers of Eastern Region.
Based on the Khyber Production Station that was established earlier, the stations will be powered by Reverse Osmosis technology and funded by NWC across Dammam, Jubail, and Khobar.
