Metito works on Fujairah job
01 April 2009
WATER desalination and wastewater treatment specialist Metito is executing a Dh10 million ($2.72 million) contract for a demineralisation plant in Fujairah.
The project combines the expertise of the UAE firm alongside the strength of Alstom Switzerland, a global leader in equipment and services for power.
The scope of the project includes design, engineering, manufacturing, delivery to project site, installation, site testing and commissioning of the water treatment plant on a turnkey basis. The plant will treat desalinated water, which will then supply Qidfa power plant with water for the boilers, generating power for Fujairah.
The project is on track, with the skids assembly now at an advanced stage of completion and mobilisation scheduled to start shortly.
Utilising advanced technology, desalinated water within the plant is passed through micron filters to three mixed-bed polishers. Regeneration waste water is treated with hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide chemicals to neutralise the PH effect, and is then stored in a neutralisation pit to minimise hazardous waste.
Bassem Halabi, group business development director for Metito, said the project – being carried out in record time – highlighted Metito’s excellence in the demineralisation business. “We are delighted to be involved in such a prestigious project. The plant is at the forefront of technology and we are proud to be leading the way in the demineralisation industry.”
