Muscat Water, a joint venture between Al Sulaimi Group Holding and AquaSwiss, has completed the construction of its 8,000-cu-m water desalination plant in Qurayat, Oman, a report said.

Muscat Water had won the contract to build, own and operate a temporary desalination plant in Qurayat and Asselah through Oman Power and Water Procurement Company, a member of Nama Group, through a tendering process in March 2016, Times of Oman reported.

Muscat Water aims to produce potable water at competitive prices through unique differentiating technologies, to assure a high local Omani content, and to develop significant in–country-value, according to the report.
