Global water and renewable energy solutions provider, Metito, has won a contract to build the second phase of the Fujairah Port desalination plant.
The contract for the desalination plant was awarded by Fujairah Fresh Water Production Company.
Metito will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the 3,500 m3/day plant, interconnecting it seamlessly with the existing facilities to meet the growing demand for potable water.
The project is significant for Fujairah, given the port’s strategic location and sophisticated infrastructure which enables businesses across the region to expand their commercial footprints, both locally and internationally.
The project award was announced following a competitive bid, and the project is set to be completed in less than a year.
“Fujairah port has developed significantly to become a strategic location with world-class facilities, and it continues to improve and grow to meet the exciting and diverse demands of the future,” said Chairman, Eng. Khamis Alnoon, of Fujairah Fresh Water Productions Co. Ltd.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Metito again for the second phase of our project and trust their strong expertise in incorporating sustainability with innovation in the solution they have proposed for this project”.
Fady Juez, Managing Director of Metito, said that the company will utilise advanced technologies to achieve power optimisation, less operational cost and a greener overall project with less emissions.
Metito developed Phase 1 of the Fujairah Port seawater desalination plant more than twenty years ago, the capacity of 3000m3/d, via 2x1500m3/d streams.
