BUSINESS Doosan takes Yanbu 3 MSF plant in Saudi Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction is to build the Yanbu Phase 3 Seawater Desalination Plant project under a contract worth US$ 1 billion from Saline Water Conversion Corporation of Saudi Arabia. The Yanbu 3 multistage flash (MSF) plant will be built 350 km north of Jeddah to supply fresh water to the industrial city of Yanbu and the nearby Medina region. The plant will deliver 550,000 m3/d of water, sufficient to meet daily requirements of 1.8 million people. Doosan's engineering, procurement and construction contract includes equipment design and manufacturing as well as installation and testing. The project is due for completion by March 2016. Giant potash project buys Veolia evaporator In 2010, Doosan won the contract to build the Ras Al Khair 1 MSF desalination plant, the world's largest desalination project to date, followed by the Yanbu 2 Expansion multi-effect distillation (MED) plant, featuring the world's largest MED distiller, and the Marafiq Yanbu MED plant in 2011. "Doosan was able to become the successful bidder because we have built solid trust with our client through successful execution of various projects over the years, on top of our cutting-edge technologies," said Seokwon Yun, CEO of Doosan's Water Business Group. "With the winning of the latest project, Doosan has further strengthened its position as the global leader in the seawater desalination industry." Osmoflo to supply two ship-mounted ROs to gas field Potable and process water is to be supplied to a gas field north of Australia by shipmounted seawater reverse-osmosis plants supplied by Adelaide-based desalination specialist Osmosflo. South Korean conglomerates Daewoo Shipbuilding Marine Engineers and Samsung Heavy Industries selected Osmoflo to supply crews involved in the recovery of liquefied natural gas and hydrocarbons from the Ichthys field in the Timor Sea. Two vessels are currently under construction in South Korean yards. Evaporation and crystallization equipment from Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies has been bought by K+S Potash of Canada to constitute the core process for a potash project in Saskatchewan, Canada. Veolia's HPD technology provided the lowest operating cost for the Legacy Project, which will be the largest solution mining project in North America, producing more than 2 Mt of potassium chloride at the end of 2015. Veolia will provide engineering and equipment supply for the evaporation and crystallization plant, which is the core of the production process. It is where the brine that is recovered from the solution mining process is evaporated, sodium and potassium chloride (potash) are crystallized and the potash is separated from the brine. The potash is then refined into a high quality end-product. Degrémont wins brackish-water contracts in Riyadh Suez Environnement subsidiary Degrémont has been awarded two contracts worth € 40 million to supply reverse-osmosis (RO) brackish-water treatment plants at 14 sites in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Degrémont was chosen by the National Water Company to provide, install and commission 33 modular 5,000 m3/d coNtract BrIEfS ____ For more details, visit www.desalination.biz __ treatment units, each consisting of two multimedia filter units for pretreatment, two RO units and a chemical treatment unit. The first contract involves 26 containerized modules, distributed across 13 separate sites, the largest of which is Salboukh, processing up to 30,000 m3/d. The second is for a single site at Al Buwaib, where 7 modules processing up to ZLD tEch from GE for tExaS powErpLaNtS Two new Texas powerplants are to use zero liquid discharge wastewater treatment technology supplied by GE, the company announced on 15 January 2013. The two 758 MW natural gas, combined-cycle powerplants, located in Sherman and Temple, will be able to reduce incoming water needs by recycling and reusing more than 98% of their own coolingtower wastewater. NIroSoft to BUILD SmaLL Swro IN chILE Chilean regional water utility Aguas De Altiplano has awarded a contract to Nirosoft Industries for a small seawater reverse-osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant. | 10 | Desalination & Water Reuse | February-March 2013 35,000 m3/d will be installed in a permanent building. Suez says the contracts were won through international collaboration and the combined expertise of Degrémont's operational entity in the Middle East and its subsidiary Water & Power Technologies in Salt Lake City, USA, which specializes in modular and containerized processing units. The 45 m3/h SWRO plant, based on Nirosoft's new NiroBox™ pre-engineered system, will be located in La Chanavayita, a small rural community in northern Chile. mEmBraNE tEch aDDED to poLISh pLaNt A third demineralization line using membrane and ion-exchange technology is to be added to the extension of the water treatment plant for the Patnów II power station in Poland. Veolia Water Solutions & Technology announced on 13 November 2011 that its subsidiary Veolia Water Systems Sp zoo had signed a contract with Elektrownia Patnów II Sp zoo for a turnkey contract.
