[오만] Sharqiyah Desalination, Sur 담수화 플랜트 확장

오만의 Sharqiyah Desalination사가 Sur 담수화 플랜트를 하루 8만 입방 미터로 확장하는 협정을 체결했다고 밝혔다. 정부 소유의 Power and Water Procurement Company사와 체결한 개정된 물 구매 협정으로 샤르키야사가 하루 5만 입방 리터를 추가할 것으로 예상한다. 무스카트 증권 거래소에 따르면 이 플랜트는 오만 최대의 독립된 물 프로젝트이다. 이 확장 프로젝트는 건설·소유·운영에 근거해서 개발될 예정이며 현재 무스카드 남서부  역삼투 프로젝트에 근접하게 위치할 계획이다.

Oman's Sharqiyah Desalination Company has signed an agreement to expand the 80,000 cubic metres a day Sur desalination plant.

Under an amended water purchase agreement with state-owned Oman Power and Water Procurement Company, the Veolia-led Sharqiyah will add 50,000 cubic metres a day to what is already the largest independent water project in Oman, according to a statement to the Muscat Securities Exchange.

The expansion project will be developed on a build, own, operate basis and will be located adjacent to the existing reverse osmosis project at Sur 160 km south west of Muscat.

Veolia Water Middle East owns a 35.75% stake in the project with Oman's National Power and Water Company holding 29.25% and the remaining equity free floating in the Muscat Exchange.

The additional water capacity of the expansion project will help in meet the projected demand for potable water in the Sharqiyah region.

Sharqiyah Desalination Company said it will seek approval from shareholders and project financiers to take the Sur expansion Project forward.
