오만 수력공사(OPWP)가 바르카 지역의 두 번째 담수화 프로젝트를 ACWA 전력에 일임했다.

두 번째 역삼투(RO) 플랜트는 하루 5만7천㎥ 수용력을 보유하게 될 예정이다. 이는 오만의 물 공급에 하루 4만5천㎥의 담수화된 물을 추가한 첫 번째 확장 프로젝트에 이어 추진된다.

물 수요의 증가가 예측된 상황에서 제2 확장 프로젝트는 이를 충족시키는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

 

 

Second desalination extension project in Barka awarded to ACWA Power

 

The Oman Power & Water Procurement Company (OPWP) has awarded phase two of the Barka desalination project to ACWA Power Barka.

 

The second reverse osmosis (RO) plant will have a capacity of 57,000 m3/day. This follows the first phase of the expansion project which added 45,000 m3/day of desalinated water the country’s supply (see WWi story).

 

In a filing to the Muscat Securities Market, ACWA Power Barka reportedly said: “We are pleased to inform our stakeholders that ACWA Power Barka has been granted a letter of award by OPWP for execution of a 12.5 MIGD (57,000 m3/day) seawater RO plant (water expansion project phase two).”

 

The second of the expansion projects will be needed to help meet an expected increase in water demand.

 

In its seven-year statement, OPWP said “water peak demand is expected to increase at an average rate of around 6% per year over a seven-year horizon”.

 

This compares to previous 7-Year Statement forecasts showing annual growth was in the range of 3% to 5%.
