Sembcorp expands Fujairah capacity

摘要

Sembcorp Industries of Singapore signed a 20-year water purchase agreement with the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company. This agreement was made through Emirates Sembcorp Water and Power Company - a joint venture between Sembcorp Gulf Holding Company and Union Power Holding Company (a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority). Emirates Sembcorp Water and Power owns and operates the United Arab Emirate's Fujairah 1 Independent Water and Power Plant (IWPP) - one of the world's largest operating hybrid desalination plants. Its estimated US$200-million expansion, with Sembcorp's equity investment of $80 million, is scheduled for completion in 2015. The expansion will increase the Fujairah 1 IWPP's seawater desalination capacity by 136 million liters per day (mld) using reverse osmosis (RO).
