We are happy to share an excellent news!
We have been appointed to an important project of supply and service on Hassyan Desalination Plant.
The project involves Vibration Monitoring hardware supply and VMS configuration and development. As for the Vibration Monitoring hardware, we are very proud to confirm CTC Connection Technology Center top-quality devices will shine in Hassyan Desalination plant, working efficiently and providing excellent performance.
This is a great achievement for NOW and we will do more than our best to deliver an unbeatable service and prove we can be the most reliable engineering company.
“Hassyan seawater desalination plant in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), commissioned by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and ACWA Power, will be the second largest desalination plant based on reverse osmosis (RO) technology in the world, and the largest desalination plant powered by solar energy.
Located approximately 55 kilometers southwest of Dubai Creek, the Hassyan desalination plant will have a capacity of 818,000 cubic meters per day (m3/d) — 180 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD) — providing a safe and reliable source of drinking water to two million people. The plant will start operating in 2026, with a gradual ramp-up to full capacity in 2027. The project is part of a broader strategy to sustainably increase water desalination capacity, to help support Dubai’s increasing demand for water in domestic and commercial settings. Furthermore, this plant will be the largest desalination plant powered by solar energy in the world.
This project will feature an exceptional energy efficiency performance, with an incredibly low energy consumption rate of 2,9 kilowatt-hours per cubic meter (kWh/m3). SIDEM’s extensive expertise in large-scale desalination, including the critical pre-treatment and post-treatment stages, has helped maximize the potential of RO technology in terms of energy efficiency, reducing the energy consumption of RO desalination plants by a further 35% over the past 10 years.
The plant is located near the Jebel Ali Wetland Sanctuary, a Ramsar protected site recognized by the Convention on Biological Diversity as an ecologically or biologically significant marine area of international importance. To ensure the uninterrupted nesting process of endangered turtles, construction activities have carefully been planned around the breeding season. Additionally, the plant adheres strictly to environmental laws and regulations in terms of composition, temperature and quantity of brine discharged, with discharge areas thoughtfully selected to mitigate any potential impact on the ecosystem.” (source: Most energy-efficient desalination plant in UAE)
