The project unites the expertise of the company and the strength of Alstom (Switzerland) Ltd., a subsidiary of Alstom.

The project is in progress, with the skids assembly nears completion. The mobilization to the site is scheduled to start in March 2009, in co-ordination with Alstom.

The desalinated water within the plant is passed through micron filters to the three mixed bed polishers by using advanced technology. The regeneration waste water is treated with hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide chemicals to neutralize the PH effect. Then the water is stored in a neutralization well to reduce hazardous waste.

Bassem Halabi, group business development director for Metito said, We are delighted to be involved in such a prestigious project and to assist with power production in Fujairah. The plant is at the forefront of technology and we are proud to be leading the way in the demineralization industry.

The company said that the plant will follow health and safety policies, in line with the company’s commitment of social responsibility.
