Hyflux, a Singapore-based specialist in water treatment, said its wholly-owned subsidiary Hydrochem Saudi has won a contract to deliver three seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants in the country’s western region.

It was awarded the contract by Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) following a public tender for the design, construction, supply, test and commissioning of the plants.

The desalination plants, which will come up at Duba, Wajh and Haql areas along the Red Sea coast, are valued at a combined estimate of SR687 million ($183 million).

On completion, each of these plants will have a designed capacity of 16,000 cu m per day.
