Metito, one of the leading global providers of water and alternative energy management systems, has been granted the contract to develop the second phase of the Fujairah Port desalination plant by Fujairah Fresh Water Production Co. Ltd. Given the port’s strategic position and advanced infrastructure, this is a crucial initiative for Fujairah, allowing firms around the area to grow their economic footprints both locally and globally.
Chairman, Eng. Khamis Alnoon of Fujairah Fresh Water Productions Co. Ltd says, “Fujairah port has developed significantly to become a strategic location with world-class facilities, and it continues to improve and grow to meet the exciting and diverse demands of the future. We are pleased to collaborate with Metito again for the second phase of our project and trust their strong expertise in incorporating sustainability with innovation in the solution they have proposed for this project.”
This project was awarded after a competitive bid and is expected to be finished in less than a year. Metito will oversee the engineering, procurement, and construction of the 3,500 m3/day plant, seamlessly integrated with the existing facilities to accommodate the rising demand for potable water.
Fady Juez, Managing Director of Metito, added, “Fujairah port is one of the Middle East’s most important ports, and we are honoured to play an instrumental role in supporting its vision to become a world-class multipurpose hub. For this second phase of the plant, we are utilizing state-of-the-art, advanced technologies, and with our high-value engineering, we have devised a solution that achieves power optimization, less operational cost and an overall greener project with fewer emissions.”
Metito developed Phase 1 of the Fujairah Port seawater desalination plant more than twenty years ago, with a capacity of 3000m3/d via 2x1500m3/d streams.
Commenting on this update, Ahmed Hayajnah Metito, General Manager of Dubai, Northern Emirates, and Oman, adds, “The original project was in line with the stringent requirements of Fujairah Fresh Water Production Co. Ltd, and its long-standing efficient operations is another testament to the sustainable nature of the solutions Metito has been providing for more than 65 years of successful operations across more than 53 countries in different geographies. We are honoured to be part of this new project and look forward to its successful completion”.
