싱가포르의 수처리회사 Hyflux는 사우디 아라비아에 담수화 시스템을 공급하는 4천800만 달러 가치의 프로젝트를 통해 오만과의 후속 계약을 성사했다. Hyflux는 지난해 말, 2억5천만 달러 가치의 설계·시공 프로젝트를 계약해 오만의 Qurayyat 프로젝트를 운영하고 있다.

 

Hyflux의 CEO인 Olivia Lum은 ‘WWi’를 통해  “Qurayyat 프로젝트의 성공적인 운영은 오만의 신뢰를 더욱 높여 주변의 다른 국가로 진출이 가능하게 만든다”고 밝혔다.

 

 

 

Singapore water treatment company Hyflux has followed up a contract awarded in Oman by winning a US$48 million project to supply a desalination system to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

 

At the end of last year Hyflux was awarded a US$250 million project to design, build, own and operate the Qurayyat project in Oman.

 

Company CEO Olivia Lum later told WWi magazine that: “Winning Qurayyat gives us more confidence in that country and also from Oman, we’ll be able to launch into other countries nearby.”

 

In Saudi Arabia, Hyflux’s subsidiary Hydrochem Saudi was awarded the latest contract by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) to design, build and supply a 30,000 m3/day containerised desalination system.

 

Using the company’s Kristal® ultrafiltration membrane technology, 10 modular units will provide pre-treatment for the existing seawater reverse osmosis Yanbu Desalination Plant on the Red Sea coast, 350 km north of Jeddah.

 

The project is expected to be completed in approximately eight months and will contribute to the financials for the financial year ending 31 December 2015.

 

Forecasts suggest recovery is in sight for the desalination market as project delays and cancellations gradually give way to new project announcements and tenders. A 61% growth rate is expected for the desalination market, expected to become a US$21 billion a year industry by 2019.
