Daily water production exceeds 3 million cubic meters! More than 10 "Power Construction" brand seawater desalination projects solve the local water shortage problem

The United Nations has determined that the theme of "World Water Day" in 2023 is "Accelerating Change". As an enterprise in the field of water resources and environmental construction, Power China "strengthens towards the sea" and uses Desalination technology helps solve the global water crisis.

On the basis of consolidating its traditional business, PowerChina is actively involved in building the vast world of "One Belt, One Road". Relying on its rich engineering performance and sophisticated core technologies, it focuses on the field of seawater desalination and helps international In terms of water resources development, we have undertaken the construction of more than 10 seawater desalination projects in arid and water-short Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with a daily water production exceeding 3 million cubic meters. We use high technology to turn seawater into fresh water, so that local people no longer feel helpless.

Saudi Arabia

Heading north from the port city of Jeddah in western Saudi Arabia, you will see the azure sea and golden desert. Among them, the Saudi Rabigh Phase III seawater desalination project contracted by Shandong Electric Power Construction No.3 Company, a subsidiary of Power Construction Corporation of China, stands majestically. The Red Sea seawater enters the water intake pump room through more than 400 meters of water intake pipes in the desalination plant. After a series of technical treatments, it is converted into fresh water. Through the municipal pipeline network, it provides domestic water to more than 2 million residents in major Saudi cities such as Jeddah and Mecca.

This project is the world’s largest single seawater desalination project, and it is also the first time that a Chinese enterprise has undertaken a large-scale overseas construction project. Desalination project. The project adopts world-advanced reverse osmosis technology, which has the advantages of low energy consumption, high efficiency, and good water quality, which greatly saves water production costs.

During the construction period, the project will provide more than 3,500 local jobs, directly contribute approximately US$200 million to local GDP, and drive economic growth in Saudi Arabia. On December 22, 2021, the project successfully obtained the PAC certificate and officially entered commercial operation. The excellent performance data created a new benchmark for seawater reverse osmosis desalination projects in Saudi Arabia and even the Middle East market. .

The third phase of Saudi Rabigh seawater desalination project set a Guinness World Record for single-machine water production with a daily output of 600,000 cubic meters of fresh water, and won the 2022 Global Water Award-Best Seawater Desalination Project of the Year, Saudi Mai Canada's 2021 EconomicExcellence Award and many other awards are also the first since the establishment of the "Muse Design Award"The first award-winning seawater desalination project.

The United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates, known as "a flower blooming in the desert", has more than 700 countries across the country. There are many desalination plants using different processes along the kilometers of coastline.

Among them, the Tawil seawater desalination project in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, which is the EPC general contract of Shandong Electric Power Construction No. 3 Company, a subsidiary of Power China, is the largest reverse osmosis seawater desalination project under construction in the world. After being put into operation, the daily water production capacity of the project will reach 900,000 cubic meters, making it an important livelihood project in Abu Dhabi.

During the project construction process, Power China has always regarded the concept of low-carbon environmental protection as the "background" for the company's high-quality development, continues to research and improve construction technology, innovate construction methods, and strive to create green development NewBenchmark.

As the global desalination EPC general contractor, Power China focuses on the "water" field business, digs deep into the water field value chain, and continues to develop and expand water-related industries, especially in the field of seawater desalination. Core technology, forming a complete system, with unique advantages and rich performance.

Overseas, we have undertaken the construction of Saudi Jubail Phase II, Saudi Jubail 3A, Saudi Jubail 3B, Oman’s Salalah Phase I desalination power station, and India’s ancient There are more than 10 projects including the desalination of Delors Power Station, the desalination of Qasim Power Station in Pakistan, and the desalination of Dubai Aluminum Plant in the United Arab Emirates. Domestically, it has undertaken the construction of multiple island small modular desalination EPC projects and desalination plant expansion projects. The total daily water production ranks in the No. 1 in the world.

Strive towards the sea and ride the wind and waves! Power China writes a new story and creates a new chapter in the field of seawater desalination with the goal of high standards, sustainability and benefiting people's livelihood. Provide power construction solutions to solve the water shortage problem in countries along the “Belt and Road”.
