Jebel Ali Seawater Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant

The project’s scope of work involves the construction of reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant with the capacity of 41 000 cubic meters per day located at Jebel Ali Complex Dubai. The project work includes storage tanks, seawater intake pipeline, installation of pumps and its associated facilities. The plant includes pretreatment through dissolved air flotation (DAF) and gravity filters, a reverse osmosis system of five racks, post-treatment of calcite and CO2 beds, and the pumping of the product water. Additionally, it has a high purity water production system through an electrodeionization treatment (CEDI, Continuous Electro Deionization).

The project is part of the works that SEPCOIII is carrying out for EGA in its industrial complex, where treated water is currently obtained through thermal desalination processes, in particular, multistage evaporation (MSF, Multi-stage flash distillation), which involves a higher energy cost and a greater space requirement than desalination by reverse osmosis.
