아부다비 수전력청(ADWEA)와 싱가포르 셈포크 인더스트리(Sembcorp Industries)는 2억 달러 규모의 아랍에미리트 Fujairah 1 수전력 플랜트(IWPP) 확장공사를 완료하고, 운영을 시작했다.

이번 확장은 플랜트의 해수담수화 용량을 하루 650Ml규모인 30%까지 끌어올렸다. RO 방식으로 생산된 플랜트의 담수처리된 물 중 절반 이상을 확보하게 된 Fujairah 1 IWPP는 중동지역의 RO 담수화 시설 중 가장 큰 시설 중 하나로 꼽힌다.

 

 

 

The Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) and Sembcorp Industries have completed construction and begun operation of a US$ 200-million expansion to the Fujairah 1 Independent Water and Power Plant (IWPP) in the United Arab Emirates.

 

The expansion has upped the plant's seawater desalination capacity by 30% to 650 Ml/d. With more than half of the plant's desalinated water produced using reverse osmosis, the Fujairah 1 IWPP is now one of the largest reverse osmosis desalination facilities in the Middle East.

 

The 150 Ml/d water expansion to output will be sold to the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company under a 20-year water purchase agreement. The expansion uses the plant's uncontracted surplus power to produce the additional water at a highly competitive cost. It has also been configured for greater environmental efficiency and energy savings.

 

The IWPP is owned and operated by Emirates Sembcorp Water and Power Company, a joint venture that is 60% owned by ADWEA and the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company and 40% owned by Sembcorp.
