Under the kind patronage and close attention of the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Highness
the Crown Prince, may Allah protect them, the Saline
Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) continues its
efforts to provide potable water to various regions within
the Kingdom. SWCC dedicates its technical capabilities
and human resources to address diligently its development
plans and expansions in the desalination and power
generation sectors. It continues to move forward with
its goals of establishing new advanced energy efficient
projects in line with its strategic objective of making
SWCC one of the pioneering corporations in the field of
desalination.
Diverse development plans and programs pursued by
SWCC provide desalinated water to different regions
within the Kingdom that fulfill high water demand
resulting from population growth, industrialization
and urban expansion. It is noted that projects, recently
established by SWCC, are capable of producing in
1432H a total quantity of 886 million m3 of desalinated
water. These projects employ environmentallyfriendly advanced technologies coupled with the use
of renewable energies.
SWCC’s total daily potable water production amounts
to 2.8 million cubic meters. High demand for costly
desalinated water and the limitation of natural resources
necessitate implementation of conservation measures
and policies. This motivates wise consumption of this
precious commodity reducing excessive misuse.
SWCC contributes effectively to the development
of the desalination industry worldwide through its
distinguished innovations and achievements which are
realized from the support and motivation of our farsighted leaders. SWCC strives hard to discover more
breakthroughs in desalination industry that will help
in further advancements of the Kingdom’s prosperity.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge
the tangible role of SWCC’s employees in achieving
these accomplishments and I ask the Almighty to give
us all sincerity and devotion in our sayings and deeds.
May the blessins of Allah be upon us.

Since the inception of Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC), it has augmented natural
water resources in the Kingdom producing more than 2.8 million cubic meters of desalinated
water daily. To achieve this purpose, SWCC employs the most advanced seawater desalination
technologies that yield relatively reduced water production cost concurrently with the use of
environment-friendly approaches.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest desalinated water producer in the world. It produces
around 18% of the total world production through (27) desalination plants operating in Eastern
and Western Coasts of the Kingdom, in addition to the new plants established in cooperation with
the private sector as in Shoaibah and Shuqaiq as well as Marafiq company in Jubail industrial city.
Desalinated water exported by SWCC during this year is 6.3% higher than that of the previous
year. The exported desalinated water during 1432H reached 885.9 million cubic meters, of which
487.6 million cubic meters were exported from Eastern Coast plants accounting for 55% of the
total SWCC exportation while 398.3 million cubic meters exported from Western Coast plants
representing 45% of the total. The produced water is exported to beneficiary regions through water
transmission pipeline networks with a total length of more than 4000 kilometers.
SWCC large desalination plants are operating within the context of dual purpose plants for the
simultaneous production of water and electricity with enhanced energy utilization. The electricity
exported from SWCC’s dual purpose power/water plants amounts to 15.6 MWh.
SWCC is also currently engaged in completing the construction of large power & desalination
projects as well as water and natural gas transmission systems which include:
Ras-Al-Khair dual purpose power/hybrid water plant which is uniquely designed to produce
daily around one million cubic meters of potable water and 2400 MW of electricity.
RO desalination plant in Jeddah third phase with a capacity of (240) million cubic meters daily,
Shuqaiq water transmission system,
Ras AI-Khair - Riyadh water transmission system,
Ras AI-Khair - Hafr AI-Batin water transmission system,
Yanbu-Madinah (third phase) water transmission system,
Taif-AI-Baha water transmission system,
AI-Leeth water transmission system,
Natural gas transmission system to desalination plants in AI-Khobar from Saudi Aramco company
In addition to projects of service facilities and residential complexes and other projects currently under implementation.
The Saline Water Conversion Corporation is a worldwide pioneer in developing sustainable desalination technologies and
reducing the specific water production cost. SWCC’s Research Institute is engaged in a variety of Research & Development
projects to enhance the cost effectiveness of desalination technologies. The Research Institute also established a number of
research partnerships with various local and international research institutions and specialized manufacturing companies
with the ultimate objective of joint commercialization of the developed research products.In particular SWCC has signed a
number of agreements with international companies and local universities to develop and optimize the use of solar energy
in thermal desalination.
SWCC considers capacity building as one of its top priorities to develop and upgrade the capabilities of its workforce.
During the year 1432/1433 comprehensive career advancements programs have been initiated and implemented through
the introduction of a variety of training programs. SWCC has also participated in the deliberations of a number of local
and international specialized forums and conferences. In addition, SWCC’s Training Center is providing a wide range of
qualifying and developmental programs where the implemented programs reached (584) in total that benefited (10342)
trainees. Furthermore, a number of SWCC employees got the opportunity to study on scholarships abroad to attain higher
academic degrees.
The Saline Water Conversion Corporation continues implementation of its various water and power generation projects
under guidance and genuine support of our government led by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown
Prince, may Allah protect them, and follow up by H.E. the Minster of Water and Electricity, Chairman of SWCC Board
of Directors along with their Excellency and gentlemen members of SWCC Board of Directors in addition to efforts of all
SWCC employees.
SWCC’s employees are collectively contributing in SWCC’s continuous advancement to be a frontrunner in the
desalination and power industry. This is realized through the efficient and reliable operation and maintenance of SWCC’s
desalination and power generation plants that resulted in the reduction of specific water and power generation cost that is
ultimately reflected in socioeconomic development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Thanks to all-SWCC employees for their efforts and accomplishments, and May Allah preserve our country and maintain
its stability, progress and prosperity.

Water Transmission
The huge increase in population and the great demand for potable water
prompted Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) to execute construction of (18) water transmission systems with over 4359 kilometers of pipeline
ranging from 200 – 2000 mm in diameters.
Along these pipelines 29 pumping stations were constructed to ensure continuity of water flow.
In addition, SWCC installed 181 reservoirs with a total capacity of 9,473,850
m3 and constructed 17 blending stations (for mixing desalinated water with
underground water) and 5 terminal stations.

Computer and Information Technology
In the modern age, technology is one of the most important features that
indicate the extent of progress achieved by different sectors whether they
are public or private.
In all life aspects, technology is accompanying us as a living creature
that continues to provide indispensable services and continues to enable us
overcome the obstacles and barriers in order to achieve our hopes and ambitions.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today is the largest country in the world in
production of desalinated sea water represented in SWCC. Due to its huge
work volume as a result of the spread of desalination plants all around the
Kingdom, and the multiple phases in each plant which requires activating
the role of information technology in organizing and accelerating business
and reducing the processing cost and providing the accurate information
needed for decision makers in a timely manner. Since SWCC is one of the
institutions that invest in IT in order to achieve its business and serve its
objectives and those of the state to achieve integration in electronic work,
Computer and Information Technology Department has been able to
achieve the following accomplishments during the year 1432/1433H corresponding to 2011. Prominent achievements of Computer and Information
Technology Department are as follows:
89
Renewal of the management certificate in information security system
management (ISO 27001:2500), which aims at developing a documented
information security system in an effective and constant way according
to the highest international standards in the field of information security.
Renewal of the management certificate in the field of quality management
system (ISO 9001:2008).
Starting to prepare an RFP (Request for proposal) for the project of
application of computer service management system ISO20000:2011
which includes expansion of the information security management
system to cover all departments inside IT General Department. It
also includes unifying all systems such as ISO20000, ISO9001, and
ISO27001 in one system under the name PAS99:2012.
Completing the project of expanding and developing local area network
in Rabigh, Al-Wajh, and Umlouj.
Start with the project of replacing backbone network switches in the
major plants with new switches that achieve efficiency and stability of
the local network in all sites through providing redundant switches in
each site that work active - active mode to ensure constant service in
case one of them breakdowns and getting the total operational capacity
in the normal circumstances.
Reorganizing settings of the main network switches in headquarter by
creating virtual networks for systems and servers of windows operating
environment and virtual networks for sun systems and servers with the
aim to accommodate the future projects.
Linking and testing communication for the system of internal protection

Electronic Transformation Program (e-TP)
SWCC faces a number of challenges including the constant and high demand on desalinated water
due to high population growth in the Kingdom, and the wide urban boundaries. The other challenge is
represented in far geographic distance separating cities of centre and north of the Kingdom where the
transfer process requires giant projects. This is in addition to the challenge which forces SWCC to cope
with the constant change and update of operation technologies and maintenance of plants. We should
not also forget the importance of IT and the fast development in this area. Despite all these challenges,
SWCC could achieve large and excellent significant successes. It is enough that SWCC is the largest
producer of desalinated water in the world.
SWCC has set up an ambitious plan for the coming years which targets increasing its production of
water and electricity fulfill the steady growing needs. The plan envisages implementation of some gigantic projects the most important of which is Ras AI-Khair plant that is under construction currently.
This project will be the largest plant of its kind in the world.
92
In relation to Information Technology, SWCC represented in (e-TP) has achieved
distinctive successes in applying ERP (enterprise resource planning) system. Recently,
in Safar 1432H, the third phase of (e-TP) was launched which includes applying a new
range of administrative and technical initiatives to serve the remaining SWCC sectors
after application of ERP systems which are implemented and managed by a group of
the largest international and local companies with participation from work teams from
SWCC staff. An ambitious plan is also in place to complete the project according to the
specified period for implementing it.
Whoever knows the nature of an industrial facility like SWCC realizes the extent
of challenge and regulatory obstacles as being a governmental institution and the
geographic challenge it faces. SWCC contains more than 16 sites along the east and
west coast of the Kingdom. In addition, there is a large number of staff that exceeds ten
thousand employees besides the Department of water transmission network which is in
excess of 5000 kms and covers all urban regions of the Kingdom.
To make it more difficult, SWCC is the strategic source of desalinated water in the
Kingdom which increases pressure of work and care of the executive management to
continue production. This makes the necessary time to develop the systems and quick
acceptance of using them constitute additional burden on shoulders of employees in the
program. Despite SWCC is an industrial facility that is concerned in the first place by
production of desalinated water and then generation of electricity, but the initiatives for
modernizing infrastructure and deploying the best and latest technologies is an obsession
for its management at a top of which is H.E. Governor of SWCC. While digital control
systems (DCS) took their place in managing operation units, SWCC has launched many
initiatives to update the infrastructure and build a strategy for information technology. It
has also launched an initiative for electronic transformation program which is envisaged
to introduce specific shift through development of processes and enhancement of SWCC
staff capacity as well as development of the used technologies by applying the optimum
international practices in this direction.
Through concentrated efforts, support of the senior management, dedication
of SWCC work teams, and professionalism of the partners working in the program,
SWCC celebrates its future accompaniment that is represented in (e-TP) by getting on
the date of 28/12/1432 H (24/11/2011 G) the international award of leading leadership
for applying the best practices in management of projects (PMO) for 2011. SWCC
presented its (eTP) project in competition of this award competing with large number
of international utility companies in many countries of the world. SWCC project has got
93
the highest evaluation as a model project that reflects
a long term successful initiative for a huge institution
like SWCC. Within the fruits of this distinguished
success is the support and appreciation received by this
program from SWCC Board of Directors which showed
its satisfaction on work progress in the program, the
achievements that have been accomplished and the
local and international prizes obtained. The Board of
Directors recommended continuous support to the
program as a strategic project for SWCC.
First: Objective of ( e-TP)
The main objective of (e-TP) is to create specific
shift in developing procedures and processes, enhancing
capacity of SWCC staff as well as improving the used
technologies by applying the optimum international
practices in the area of information technology. This
will be achieved through coping with the modem
international trend in the transfer of the IT sector from
being as a Service Provider to a Strategic Business
Enabler.
No doubt, achievement of this goal requires a lot of
work, effort, planning, and coordination. Therefore,
since the beginning of the Program it had been decided
that work should be done through sophisticated technical
and strategic plans. Additionally, it applies international
methodologies in implementing all aspects of the
program. Among these methodologies for example:
{PMI), and Oracle methodology for developing
applications known as (ABF). The program has also
followed the policy of adopting the best international
practices (Best Practice Approach) as an optimum
style for achieving the best results based on successful
experiences as the shortest way for access to direct
practical results without the need to enter into projects
94
with uncalculated outcome. Consequently, (e-TP) has
optimal successive successes
that led to granting it regional and international
prizes that will be mentioned in the subsequent chapters
of this report.
To ensure receiving a successful implementation
methodology, (e-TP) adapts the Project Management
Institute standard by the establishment of the Program
Management Office (PMO) which undertakes
management of the projects according to approved
internationally tested systematic methodology. A
program was designed and implemented for Change
Management according to a scientific methodology to
prepare the organization and workers to deal with the
modern systems and application which is considered
as one of the most important factors of success of
such projects the application of which will be reflected
on level and technique of business and employees
performance in the Corporation.
Second: Volume of (e-TP)
The program currently consists of 11 major projects.
Some projects have been completed, including the
project of updating infrastructure, financial systems and
