The Muharraq project is a 100,000 m3/d state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant with a sewer conveyance system in the Muharraq catchment area. The conveyance system includes the first 16.5 km deep gravity sewer trunk pipeline in the GCC region and a wastewater collection network. This plant uses tertiary treatment to recycle part of the treated used water into clean high-grade reclaimed water. In 2011, the concession was signed with the Ministry of Works, and operation of the facility began in 2014. This project was acquired by Almar Water Solutions in 2019.

The Shuqaiq 3 desalination plant, located on the coast of the Red Sea, in Saudi Arabia, will be one of the largest reverse osmosis desalination plants in the world, with a production capacity of 450,000 cubic meters per day. The project, which is currently under construction, will guarantee the supply of drinking water to more than 1.8 million citizens, while also contributing to the country’s economic and industrial development. The plant’s importance is such that in September 2019 it received the “Utilities Project of the Year” award at the Middle East Energy Awards 2019 held in Dubai, UAE, making it one of the flagship new infrastructure projects in the region. The project is being developed under a 25-year BOO (Build-Own-Operate) contract model and is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The Mombasa desalination plant project was awarded to Almar Water Solutions at the end of 2018, and is currently in the financial closure stage. Mombasa will be the first large-capacity desalination plant in Kenya and is an unprecedented project that will pave the way for the development and improvement of the infrastructure network on the African continent. The plant will be located in the North Mainland area in the county of Mombasa and will have a capacity of 100,000 cubic meters per day, supplying drinking water to over a million people. The facility will be managed and operated, until its transfer, for 25 years.

The brackish water desalination plant has a capacity of 2,765 meters per day and supplies quality water to the mining client Antofagasta Minerals for its industrial activity in northern Chile. The plant is equipped with reverse osmosis ultrafiltration technology and its expansion has been in operation since 2011. The equipment receives water from a battery of wells, located 70 km away, which is accumulated in an open-air pool. The treatment system has an initial screening stage with self-cleaning mesh filters. The water then enters an ultrafiltration battery that can supply any of three brackish water reverse osmosis units. The arrangement of the system makes it possible to obtain industrial filtered water, drinking water and demineralized water.

Antucoya Mining’s desalination plant has been operating since 2012, producing 2,930 cubic meters of water per day for the industrial client Antofagasta Minerals, located in northern Chile. Using reverse osmosis technology, the plant captures seawater, which is subsequently treated in different phases, producing quality process water in sufficient quantities. This project was developed considering an early stage of drinking water production by means of modular equipment belonging to our company’s rental fleet. In addition to the original project, in 2014, an extension of the pre-treatment was designed with the purpose of complying with the water quality requirements for intake by the system.

The Zuluf project consists of a water treatment plant with a 185,000 m3/day capacity supporting water injection for the Zuluf Onshore Oil Facilities project, located in the Arabian Gulf, 240 km north of Dhahran. The $400 million project, which will be developed under a 25-year BOOT (build, own, operate, and transfer) scheme, includes the design, development, financing, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance, and transfer of ownership.
