Where is shoaiba in saudi arabia

ABB Alstom in Denmark supplied blow tanks and dust inlet valves. Work on the contract began as soon as it was awarded. Commercial operations from unit four began in mid and at the end of from unit five.

Alstom Power supplied two MW steam turbine generator sets, boilers, the overall electrical and control systems, and balance of plant. The plant began producing up to 50 million cubic metres of water a year in The power station provides the desalination facility with steam to heat the seawater distillers while reducing its own cooling demands.

Apart from the desalination facility, the project included storage tanks, pumping station, and water pipelines. Fichtner was appointed by Water and Electricity WEC to study a phase three combined power and desalination plant under the stage two.

The plant connects to the kV grid by a new high-voltage substation. The oil is supplied by tankers to an existing unloading jetty near the primary site. Seawater needed for desalination and cooling comes through a new dedicated seawater intake and outfall facilities.

The 1,MW stage two comprises ten gas turbines and two steam turbines. Several new desalination plants are planned, or under construction, which will ultimately bring the final total to almost 30 such facilities. This has come about for a number of reasons. In particular, the price of the units themselves has dropped greatly over recent years, which is of particular importance for very large plant installations.

The efficiency of MSF, which has been appreciated for years, combined with their relatively low maintenance demand further enhances their appeal for the sort of large-scale applications required in the region. In addition, the necessity for the extensive pre-treatment of raw seawater intake demanded by alternative technologies, particularly reverse osmosis, have led to a fall in their popularity in some quarters of the Middle East.

This is condensed on heat exchanger tubes, cooled by the incoming feed water flow to the brine heater. This, in turn, warms up the intake water itself, reducing the amount of thermal energy needed in the brine heater. In practice, only a small percentage of the seawater is converted to steam, depending on the ambient pressure maintained in the vessel, since vaporisation swiftly causes the water to cool to below boiling point.

Thus, multi-stage distillation makes use of a series of stages set at increasingly lower atmospheric pressures, allowing the feed water to pass from one to another, repeatedly flashing, without adding more heat. However, there are limits on the number of stages, since one of the major factors affecting the thermal efficiency of MSF plants is the temperature difference between the brine heater and the final condenser at the cold end of the plant.

At Shoaiba, these problems have been largely addressed by matching the MSF performance to the optimum plant power and steam cycles, together with the use of corrosion-resistant coatings and alloys. Over pumps are used in the plant and in a wide range of capacities.

More than 20 million people, equivalent to two-thirds of the population of Saudi Arabia, use water that is supplied by desalination plants built by Fisia Italimpianti. With its consolidated expertise and experience, it offers solutions with the highest level of technology to meet the specific requirements of its clients with full consideration of the geographical context where they are located.

The plants it has built produce up to a combined 4. The plant represents the return of Fisia in the construction of large-scale desalination and reverse osmosis plants, today the most prevalent technology in this sector. The works include seawater intake, brine outfall and the new RO plant, located within the existing industrial area.

As Ghubrah 3 IWP, the other plant that Fisia Italimpianti will simultaneously build in Oman, the plant will serve residents living near the capital. The works include seawater
