A major mining facility in Eastern Saudi Arabia required a temporary desalination solution to address reduced efficiency of its existing thermal desalination units and meet increased process water demand. An initial capacity of 4,800 m³/day was deployed to provide desalinated water for process applications, ensuring uninterrupted mining operations.
Veolia deployed the assets within 2 months with complete scope of supply including storage tanks, chemicals dosing skids. Diesel Generators (DG) sets and all other electro mechanical accessories with full integration.
The deployment included:
- 6 Multimedia Filters (MMF): To effectively reduce suspended solids and provide a consistent SDI < 3 for the water feeding into the reverse osmosis system to ensure optimal performance.
- 8 Seawater Reverse Osmosis units (SWRO): To produce pure water from the salt solution through a membrane into a higher concentrated saline solution.
- 2 Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis units (BWRO): To remove dissolved salts and other impurities from brackish water, producing potable or industrial-grade water.
- Required pump & Clean-in-Place (CIP) skids
- 24/7 operational support
