Technical assistance for a desalination plant

Sur desalination plant is the largest seawater reverse osmosis plant in the world that is fed entirely by groundwater extracted from beach wells, with a capacity of 83,648 m³/day. Since 2009, the plant has provided the main source of potable water for 2 governorates of Oman, Sharqiyah South and Sharqiyah North. After seven years of operation, the operating company Bahwan Veolia Water (BVW) and Sharqiyah Desalination Company (SDC) sought Seureca’s support to prepare for the future by proposing recommendations for the continuous improvement of operating practices and the implementation of targeted plant optimization.
