Seawater desalination project to produce 200,000 cubic metres of fresh water per day

Wednesday, 17 December, 2008

Energy Recovery has announced the award of another large-scale energy recovery contract for seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination in Algeria.

The Souk Tleta SWRO Desalination Plant, located in Tlemcen in Northwestern Algeria, will have a total capacity of 200,000 cubic metres per day. The plant is slated to begin operation in the first half of 2010.

The plant is being built by the Singapore-based company Hyflux on a 25-year build, own, operate and transfer basis. It will provide desalinated seawater to the Algerian Energy Company, the state-owned national water entity of Algeria.

Under the contract, Energy Recovery will supply the plant with 260 PX-220 energy recovery devices that will save an estimated 21 MW of energy.
