Desalination: We Aim To Produce 7.6 Million Cubic Meters Of Water Per Day In 2023

The Saline Water Conversion Corporation revealed a number of its future targets, investment opportunities and innovative solutions, during its participation in the World Water Summit 2023, which kicked off in Berlin from May 8 to 10.

In the special session on investment in the water sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the conference, the Deputy Governor for Production Affairs, Engineer Abdullah Al-Zuwaid, confirmed the start of the first phase to reduce 37 million tons annually of carbon emissions before the end of 2025.

Reduced energy consumption for water production to 2.5 kilowatts
He added that among the objectives: raising the level of production in the institution to a new record of 7.6 million cubic meters per day during 2023, and reducing energy consumption for production per meter to 2.5 kW by the end of the year 2025 with environmentally friendly solutions and technologies that play a pivotal role in overcoming the challenge of production cost and energy consumption. energy.
