Recently, Power China signed a contract for the EPC project of the Jubail Phase III B independent seawater desalination project in Saudi Arabia. The signing and implementation of the project will lay a solid foundation for Power China to further develop the Middle East market.

Saudi Arabia is seriously short of water resources. 70% of drinking water comes from seawater desalination. Seawater desalination is the main way to solve the problem of water use. It is the world's largest seawater desalination country. The role of desalinated seawater in supplementing and replacing conventional water resources is very obvious. The project is completed This will alleviate the growing water demand in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

Seawater desalination is the use of seawater desalination to produce fresh water. At present, the application of reverse osmosis and thermal distillation technology for seawater desalination is the mainstream practice in the market. The Jubail Phase III B independent seawater desalination project in Saudi Arabia adopts seawater reverse osmosis technology and has a daily water output of 570,000 tons. It will undertake the important task of supplying water to the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, and is of great significance to alleviating Riyadh's growing water demand.

"Water is as expensive as oil" in desert areas. The market for desalination in the Middle East and North Africa is fierce. PowerChina is the world's largest seawater desalination EPC general contractor. It has successively undertaken the Oman Salalah seawater desalination project and the second-stage seawater desalination of Jubail in Saudi Arabia. Wait for multiple projects. Among them, the Abu Dhabi Tavel desalination project is the world's largest reverse osmosis desalination project, with a daily water output of 900,000 tons. The Shatrabigh Phase III independent desalination project has a daily water output of 600,000 tons, and undertakes the important task of supplying water to Mecca and Jeddah. Editor/Tian Zengpeng
