Introduction

§  KSA is the largest seawater desalination market ( 18% of the desalinated water worldwide)

§  30 desalination plants in KSA produce 3.15 million cubic meters per day

§  300,000 barrel of oil equivalent per day is the energy consumption for

desalination

§  + more facts and data about the desalination sector

(( these data will be presented in figures))

Two Projects in the Development Phase

§  SWCC and K.A.CARE are developing two projects to connect desalination plants with Renewable Energy:

⎯  Farasan: Existing thermal desalination

plant to be connected to Solar Thermal Energy

⎯  Haql: New Reverse Osmosis plant to be powered by Wind Energy

Major Project Objectives §  Study the feasibility of different renewable desalination options and select the most suitable ones

for the existing desalination plants §  §  Develop renewable desalination projects and demonstrate the technical capabilities of the

technology

§  Strengthen the experience in planning and implementing renewable desalination projects

§  Strong cooperation with national companies and national institutions

§  Develop cooperation with international technology providers and transfer knowledge to KSA

§  Evaluate the technical and commercial performance of the renewable desalination projects and set a basis for large scale applications in the Kingdom
