Aquatech to Supply Thermal Desalination System for Refinery

15 September 2015

Aquatech, a global water and wastewater technology provider for the industrial and infrastructure markets, has been awarded a contract to design and supply a multiple effect distillation (MED) seawater desalination system for Orpic’s Sohar Refinery Improvement Project in Oman. The desalination facility will supply pure water to boilers, service water as well as potable water.

The desalination facility will treat seawater from the Indian Ocean to produce pure water with less than 5 mg/l of total dissolved solids. Plant steam will be used to provide the energy to operate the desalination units. It is designed for a performance Gain Output Ratio (GOR) of over 6.3. The demineralization system consists of the patented FEDI process and will provide ultra pure water with less than 0.1 ppm of dissolved solids for boiler feed water.
