For nearly half a century, desalination has
provided a reliable source of fresh water
to the growing population and economies
in the Gulf region. The level of
development achieved thus far by the Gulf
economies would not have been possible
without the parallel implementation and
development of desalination.
2
Obviously, desalination is
critical for sustaining life
and economic growth in
the Gulf region.
Some countries in the Gulf
rely on desalination to
produce 90% or more of
their drinking water, and
the
overall
capacity
installed in this region
amounts to about 40% of
the world’s desalinated
water capacity.
3
A gradual but constant change in perspective and
environmental awareness...
awareness...
...is driving the technology for
more efficient and
environmentally friendly options
and towards energy
optimisation.


High energy footprint is the greatest drawback of desalination
technology. In particular, thermal desalination technologies
have been traditionally less energy efficient than Seawater
Reverse Osmosis (SWRO).

However, there still are cogeneration configurations where
Multiple Effect Distillation (MED) can be more effective, not only
on the variable O&M costs but also to improve energy efficiency
and reduce energy footprint.

Hybrid MultiMulti-stage Flash (MSF) / Reverse Osmosis
(RO) Technology
 MSF heat reject can be used for RO plant - reduces Aux power and
seawater intake requirement.
 Cost of potabilisation is minimised as less lime is required for
maintaining Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the potable water. The
different rate of blending can be done depending on the water
quality requirement.
 Most suitable for GCC region because of the vast variation in the
summer and winter power demand.
 Overall Aux power consumption kWh/m3 is lower for the hybrid
plants as compared to only MSF plants.

SWRO Expansion Project
 To increase desalination capacity by 30 MIGD. Targeted completion: 1H2015

SWRO Expansion Project
The main innovative aspects of the new F1 IWPP SWRO Expansion
Project are:

Seawater Abstraction

Minimise Environmental Impact

Availability during Red Tide Event
20
Seawater Abstraction
 Ability to recover Heat Reject from the MSF plant for reuse as part
of seawater feed for RO plants.
 Heat Reject from MSF is blended with fresh seawater intake. This
integrated stream is then used as feed for both existing and new
RO plants.

Minimise Environmental Impact
The seawater requirements for the plant are deemed to be extremely
low and consequently:

The additional chlorine required for disinfection will be
minimal.
Minimise environmental impact related to the brine discharge as
the Heat Reject from the MSF plant will be reused as part of the
seawater feed for the SWRO plant instead being discharged into the
sea - minimising brine discharge helps to reduce the negative
impact of salinity changes on aquatic flora and marine life.

Availability during Red Tide
Red tide is the result of an influx of a type of
algae bloom that turns the water to a reddish
colour.
The red tide problem has been growing over the
past few years in the Gulf region, adversely
impacting the important sea water desalination
plants by clogging up dual media filters.
The SWRO Expansion Project includes the installation of a new
Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) system which will provide enhanced
pre-treatment of seawater feeding into the RO plants.
By improving the quality of the seawater feed, this system enhances
the reliability and availability of the RO plants, particularly during red
tide season.
