  METITO SUPPLIES DESALINATION TREATMENT PLANT TO ENSURE CLEAN WATER FOR THOUSANDS OF VISITORS TO DREAMLAND AQUA PARK AT UMM AL QUWAIN, UAE .

25 September 2001

METITO (Overseas) Limited has installed a world-class sea water desalination plant, to supply 150,000 gallons of water a day to cater for the needs of the Dreamland Aqua Park at Umm Al Qawain in the United Arab Emirates.

The company, which has its headquarters for Europe, Asia and Africa in Sharjah, has installed a state of the art reverse osmosis plant to treat seawater for the swimming pools and range of exciting water slides and features at the water park.

In total the Park has 4 million gallons of water in its pools and slides but requires freshly treated water every day to replace that lost through evaporation and spillage from the 250,000-plus visitors to Dreamland Aqua Park every year.

METITO (Overseas) Limited Regional Managing Director Mr Fady Juez said: “As a UAE-based company we are delighted to use our expertise and technology to help deliver quality treated water every day for the highly demanding requirements of the water park.
  The quality and safety of the treated water is of paramount importance to a visitor attraction like this and we are very proud to be making our contribution to the local tourism industry and helping thousands of families to enjoy themselves in water that has been treated to the highest standards.”

The scope of work for METITO in this project included turn key design, engineering, fabrication, supply, installation and commissioning. Water treated by the company is suitable for both drinking and pool use.

Dreamland Aqua Park Deputy Manager Mr Nabil Barakat said: “The safety and enjoyment of our visitors is of utmost importance and we need to ensure they enjoy themselves in an aquatic environment that has water treated to the highest standards.

We have found that METITO is a quality company that can respond to our needs quickly and professionally and help to ensure that we deliver a first class experience to over 250,000 people who visit us every year.”
