Abengoa has been selected, in a consortium with the engineering and construction company SEPCOIII, to construct a 600,000 m3/d desalination plant for Acwa Power, a company leader in the development, investment, ownership and operation of energy generation and desalinated water. The value of Abengoa’s scope in the project exceeds USD 200 million. Specifically, the company will be responsible for the engineering, supply and construction of the Jubail 3A reverse osmosis desalination plant, located to the south of the city of the same name, in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia, in the northeast of the country. With a capacity of 600,000 m3/d, this plant will be the second largest plant with reverse osmosis technology in the country (it will have the same capacity as already under construction Rabigh III plant) and will guarantee the supply of drinking water to Riyadh, Qassim and Eastern Provinces throughout the year. The project includes the construction of tanks for the storage of treated water with a capacity of one day of production, as well as a photovoltaic solar field. Thus, it will be possible to reduce, in a sustainable way, the energy consumption of the desalination plant. The scope of the project includes seawater intake, pumping, pretreatment, reverse osmosis system with energy recovery, post-treatment, pumping station, product water storage, effluent treatment, discharge by outfall and field solar photovoltaic, as well as the associated electrical installations that comprise the construction of an electrical substation of 380/33 kV.
