SINGAPORE: Hyflux has signed a water purchase agreement to build a water desalination plant in Oman – its largest in the sultanate.
Hyflux was awarded the Qurayyat Independent Water Project by Oman Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC (OPWP), following the signing of the water purchase agreement between OPWP and Hyflux’s subsidiary, Qurayyat Desalination SAOC (Qurayyat Desalination Company).
Under the agreement, desalinated water from the plant will be supplied to OPWP for a period of 20 years, from 2017 to 2037. This will add another 200,000 cubic metres per day of drinking water to the country’s water supply.
The seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant will be located in Qurayyat, in the Muscat governorate.
