Metito
Overseas Ltd, the international water treatment,
desalination and wastewater treatment experts, have
announced that the company has secured an AED 13
million project as part of the Sohar Power and Desalination
plant in Oman.
This
project, owned by Oman Ministry of National Economy,
covers the re-mineralization part of the Multi Stage
Flash (MSF) process that is used to desalinate sea
water.
The
Multi Stage Flash Evaporator process produces
distilled water from feed water by heating it
until it is ready to flash. The flashed vapor
is drawn to the cooler tube bundle surfaces where
it is condensed and collected as distillate.
This
distilled water is highly aggressive in nature
and not suitable for drinking purposes. It has
to be re-mineralized with vital mineral additives
that are necessary to make it potable.
METITO
Overseas Ltd. Group Business Development Director
Bassem Halabi said: 'We are thrilled to be awarded
this prestigious contract in the Sultanate of
Oman. Metito has extensive experience in sea water
desalination and treatment around the world and
have worked a great deal with international bodies
in different sectors.'
'In the past we have worked on similar assignments
and surpassed our client's expectations. Under
the scope of the project, distilled water obtained
through the MSF method is re-mineralized by controlling
the pH level and adding suitable mineral salts
in order to make it potable'
He
added: 'Our past experience using this treatment
process has been very successful in markets around
the world. This plant in particular has a capacity
of 6250 cubic meter per hour of water which is
mandatory as per the site regulations and is sufficient
for the fresh use of 600,000 persons per day.'
