Az Zour 남부 RO 담수화 플랜트가 쿠웨이트에서 현장의 용수량을 25%까지 끌어올리는 작업에 취임됐다.

Veolia는 Al Ghanim International과의 파트너십으로 쿠웨이트 전력수력부에 의해 지난 2011년 입찰을 수주받았다. 설계-시공-운영(DBO) 계획 하에 이 플랜트는 오는 2019년까지 5년간 Veolia에 의해 운영 및 유지될 예정이다.

2014년 7월부터 운영되기 시작한 Az Zour 프로젝트는 쿠웨이트 수도에서 남쪽으로 100㎞ 떨어져 있으며 , 하루 13만6천㎥의 물을 생산한다. 새 용량은 현장의 용수량을 25%까지 끌어올려 총 65만9천700㎥이 될 것으로 보인다.

 

 

 

The Az Zour South reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant was inaugurated this week in Kuwait that will boost the site’s water capacity by 25%.

 

Veolia was awarded the tender in 2011 by the country’s Ministry of Electricity and Water, in partnership with Al Ghanim International.

 

Under a DBO (Design-Build-Operate) scheme, the plant will be operated and maintained by Veolia over a five-year period, up to 2019.

 

Operating since July 2014, the Az Zour project, 100 km south of capital Kuwait City, produces 136,000 m3/day. The new capacity will boost the site’s water capacity by 25%, up to 659,700 cubic metres in total.

 

For the water intake, Veolia implemented a system to pump cooling water from the discharge canal from an adjacent power station.

 

According to the firm, due to the increased temperature of the cooling water compared with normal seawater, this results in “CAPEX and energy savings during the whole life cycle of the plant”.

 

The plant was inaugurated by HE Abdulaziz Abdullatif Al-Ibrahim, Minister of Public Works and Minister of Electricity and Water in Kuwait, Laurent Fabius, French Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development; Antoine Frerot, Chairman of Veolia; and Christian Nakhle, French Ambassador to Kuwait.

Earlier this month, Veolia signed an agreement to extend the Sharqiyah desalination project in Oman.
