Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: The Water and Effluent Treatment (WET) Business of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), the Indian multinational conglomerate, signed a contract with ACWA Power to build the Ras Mohaisen Desalination plant in Saudi Arabia.

WET won the order in a joint venture with Lantania of Spain, wherein it happens to be the lead partner, the company announced in a press release today.

The project's scope includes design, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning of a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant. 

Ras Mohaisen Desalination plant is set to have a capacity of 300,000 cubic meters per day and will encompass intake and outfall facilities, process units, pumping stations, a 600,000 cubic meters potable water storage facility, an electrical special facility, and state-of-the-art automation and instrumentation systems. A solar PV plant is also part of the project scope.

The plant will serve as a drinking water source for Makkah and Al-Baha regions, benefiting about one million population.

This project underscored WET’s commitment to expanding its regional footprint across all neighboring and business-conducive geographies. 

It is worth mentioning that this is the second desalination order that L&T has received in Saudi Arabia in the recent past and it strengthens WET’s presence in the Middle East region.
