Desalination plants operate in more than 120 countries in the world, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Gibraltar, Cape Verde, Portugal, Greece, Italy, India, China, Japan, and Australia. The largest Seawater Desalination Plant in the Americas came online in 2015 in Carlsbad, CA producing 50 million gallons per day. Worldwide, desalination plants produce over 3.5 billion gallons of potable water a day. The installed RO desalination plant capacity has increased in an exponential scale over the last 30 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Historically the desalination market has been led by brackish water plants the US, and seawater plants in the Gulf states. Saudi Arabia work with >15million m\u00b3\/Day and USA work with >8 million m\u00b3\/Day<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The US has led the membrane market, while Saudia Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have led the thermal market. In Unite State built many famous brand like Dupont\/Dow\/Filmtec, Hydranautics\/Nitto, Koch etc. Japan and Korea also own Toray\/CSM, LG, Tokybo etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The gulf states have traditionally favoured thermal desalinationination, powered by access to abundant oil supplies.\"\"<\/p>\n

More recently, Spain and the UAE have pushed the US into fourth place in the global desalination market.\"\"<\/p>\n

Growth since 2003 has been driven by established desalination markets of the Gulf (GCC) region as well as new programmes in Algeria, Australia, and Spain. Desalinationination programmes in these countries have now peaked, and future growth is expected to come from countries such as China, South Africa, and Chile.\"\"<\/p>\n

What technologies are used on Desalination?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today there are two main types of desalination technologies \u2013 membrane (RO) and thermal (MED, MVC and MSF) desalination. Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination uses the principle of osmosis to remove salt and other impurities, by transferring water through a series of semi-permeable membranes. Membrane desalination has grown rapidly since 2003, and despite expectations of decline, thermal desalination also continues to grow.\"\"<\/p>\n

Why we need a desalination plant<\/strong><\/p>\n

The growing need of safe, reliable and consistent supply of water had made many manufacturing industries and water treatment plants to look for efficient desalination plants. Desalination is process by which minerals are removed from the water \u2013 seawater, brackish water or treated water\u2013to make it pure for various industrial use. Many industries need processed water for manufacturing, water treatment and other activities. The municipal sector uses the largest amount of desalinated water. However, industries such as power generation have the greatest number of desalination facilities.\"\"<\/p>\n

Since 2003, the demand for large seawater desalination plants has grown significantly. Seawater now accounts for almost two-thirds of all feedwater.\"\"<\/p>\n

Whos is the Top 20 EPC Desalination plants contractors?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Desalination plants are created by engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors. In terms of contracted capacity 2000-2011, Veolia is the top ranking EPC contractor.<\/p>\n

The recently awarded Rabigh 3 desalination project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to ACWA Power was branded as one of the world\u2019s largest desalination plants.<\/p>\n

To put it into perspective, with a capacity of 600,000 m3\/day, that\u2019s 600 million litres of water that will eventually be produced per day. There is no doubting at that size, the Saudi mega-size project will be one of the largest out there and the second largest awarded RO desalination plant.<\/p>\n

Yet most desalination professionals will know it\u2019s not the largest and it raises the question of well, with over 20,000 desalination plants contracted around the world, which are the largest?<\/p>\n
