October 10, 2019
Toray: desalination plant
Contributes to the realization of Saudi Vision 2030.
Toray is now in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
- For Shuaiba third seawater desalination plant
- For Shueiba No. 4 desalination plant,
We deliver “ROMEMBRA®”, a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane that produces a large amount of water production (total 650,000 m3 / day).
Shuaiba No. 4 desalination plant:
When the plant is completed, it will become the largest seawater desalination plant in Saudi Arabia using the reverse osmosis membrane method.
The latest trend: adopting RO method
- Currently, when building a new plant, the trend to adopt the RO method is remarkable.
- Conventional evaporation method: Energy is consumed in large quantities.
This RO method: Uses extrusion pressure by pump.
