오만 수전력청(OPWP)는 수에즈(Suez)가 포함된 컨소시엄인 바르카(Barka) 담수화기업를 바르카 지역에 위치한 하루 28만1천㎥ 규모 신규 해수담수화 플랜트의 파이낸스·시공·운영사업자로 선정했다. 이 민관 BOO 파트너십은 수에즈와 일본의 이토츄(Itochu) 및 오만의 토웰(Towell Engineering)로 구성되어 있다.

오만 내 최대 규모의 RO 담수화 플랜트가 될 이 플랜트의 시공 및 운영은 20년 기간 동안 제공될 예정이다. 2018년 4월 초에 식수 공급을 시작할 예정이며, 수에즈는 총액 2억7천600만 유로 규모의 시공·운영을 맡게 된다.

 

 

 

Oman Power and Water Procurement (OPWP) has chosen the Barka Desalination Company, a consortium including SUEZ to finance, build and operate a new 281,000 m3/day seawater desalination plant in Barka.

 

The public-private BOO (Build Own Operate) partnership also includes Japanese firm Itochu Corporation and Omani company, Towell Engineering.

 

Construction and operation will be provided over a 20 year period to deliver what will be the largest reverse osmosis desalination plant in the Sultanate of Oman.

 

The plant will start supplying drinking water by 1 April 2018. SUEZ is in charge of the construction and operation of the plant, representing a total amount of 276 million euro.

 

Degremont® technology and treatment processes, such as Seadaf and Aquazur, will be used  for pre-treating the turbid and algae-rich waters of the Gulf of Oman to ensure the production of high-quality drinking water.

 

Several plants are already under construction in the coastal towns of Sohar, Al-Ghubrah, and Qurayyat, and three more projects are due for launch in 2016.

 

This is the second desalination plant built by SUEZ in the Sultanate of Oman, following the Barka II station (120,000 m3/day) that was inaugurated in 2009, as part of the IWPP (Independent Water and Power Plant) project awarded to ENGIE in 2007.
