Water. desalination + reuse June 2018 The Quarterly 5 IRAN Hyfl ux bags desal contract at Iran's SAKO mega-project Hyfl ux International has won a contract to design, manufacture and supply an SWRO plant in Iran. The project for a 200,000 m3/d facility was awarded by Asia Water Development Engineering Company (AWDEC), and is one of fi ve desalination units planned for Saghi Kosar (SAKO) desalination and power plant in Bandar Abbas. The private company AWDEC was established in Tehran in 2011 to build and run the SAKO project, which will produce 1 million m3/d when complete. Hyfl ux's contract is worth €68.7 million ($85 million), with an additional €10.5 million for optional add-ons, such as equipment and technical advisors. The project excludes local marine, civil and structural works, and is expected to be delivered by 2021. 1million m3/d new capacity 42 countries pledge support KENYA Mombasa County plant construction to begin in June Mombasa County, Keyna, awarded a design, build and operate contract for new desalination capacity. The news emerged following Keyna National Dam Conference, 8 to 9 March 2018, hosted in Mombasa by Keyna's National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation (NWCPC). A Spanish and a Swiss company have reportedly won the project comprising two plants with capacity totalling 130,000 m3/d. Construction is slated to begin in June 2018, with the larger of the two plants, in the North Mainland zone, either at Kisuani or Nyali, to complete within 15 months, and a smaller facility in the south, at Likoni, to complete within 12 months. The award is reportedly for a multi-billion Keynan shillings contract (multiples of $10 million). Water demand in Mombasa County is 180,000 m3/d, and offi cial supply is pegged at 48,000 m3/d, according to the original tender document. JAPAN JICA to loan $283 million for Chennai's fourth desalination plant Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is to loan JPY 30 billion ($283 million) to build a seawater desalination plant in Chennai, India. An invitation for consulting services, including detailed design work, and an initial procurement package for international competitive bidding on project construction, will be issued in August 2018, by Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board. The desalination plant will be Chennai's fourth, and the project is expected to comprise a 400,000 m3/d facility and a transmission network. Project completion is slated for March 2025. The population of Chennai Metropolitan Area rose from 6.6 million in 2001, to 8.9 million in 2011, and is projected to exceed 15 million by 2035. The population in the Chennai City area, which will be supplied by the new desalination plant, is expected to rise from 7.1 to 8.2 million people. The desalination facility is intended to provide a new source of water independent of drought, and to relieve pressure on existing river and groundwater sources. Further, it's expected to improve conditions for economic investments in the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor (CBIC), including for 370 Japanese companies operating there. The project loan is one of fi ve Offi cial Development Assistance (ODA) loans to be provided by JICA to the government of India, totalling JPY 188 billion ($1.77 billion). Two desalination plants operate in Chennai, and a third is out to tender. The two in operation are the 100,000 m³/d reverse osmosis (RO) Nemmelli plant; and the 100,000 m³/d Minjur RO plant. The third, to supply 150,000 m3/d to southern and central Chennai, funded by KfW Development Bank, was tendered in November 2016. INDIA Karnataka approves port city desalination project A technical and economic feasibility study for a new desalination plant in Mangaluru city in Karnataka, southwest India, was approved by state authorities. The proposed 100,000 m3/d seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant is to be a public-private partnership project, to meet local water demand for 15 years. The project may later expand to add another 100,000 m3/d capacity to meet demand to 2052. The feasibility report was prepared by Infrastructure Development Corporation Karnataka, a joint venture of Karnataka Government, the banking and infrastructure fi rm Infrastructure Development Finance Company, and fi nance house Housing Development Finance Corp. The off -taker will be Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board. The feasibility study was approved by state minister for law and parliamentary aff airs, TB Jayachandra. There is opposition to the project on environmental grounds from the National Environment Care Federation.
