Highlight• Process water for

Jeddah South power plant

First sea water desalination plant based on inge® ultrafi ltration technology operating successfully in Saudi Arabia

For the fi rst time, inge® technology has been used in a sea water desalination

project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The plant was commissioned in

October 2015 – and inge®ʼs involvement provides yet another clear signal

of its commitment to the Middle Eastern market. Located in the Jeddah

South region, the sea water desalination plant was built by AES Arabia Ltd.

and Hyundai Heavy Industries on behalf of the Saudi Electricity Company

to supply water to a power plant. The desalination facility uses inge® UF

technology as a pretreatment stage prior to reverse osmosis.

inge®, the German water treatment specialist provided four T-Rack® lines

featuring a total of 160 dizzer® XL ultrafi ltration modules and manifolds in

order to deliver 17 MLD to the RO system. The desalinated water is utilized

to meet process water demands in the Jeddah South power plant.

“This is a very important project for inge® and an excellent reference for

our work in the Middle East,” says Ralf Krüger, Director Sales at inge®.

He adds: “Our unique T-Rack® system and T-Rack® Manifold components

met the customerʼs needs perfectly, offering a truly space-saving solution.

And we were also able to offer extensive technical support during both the

tendering and commissioning stages.”See next page

All involved parties have expressed their satisfaction with the project.

Mr. Irshad Sonde, who heads up the Energy Operating Unit at AES, sums

up his experience as follows: “We were completely satisfied with all the

steps and measures taken in this project. Delivery of the equipment, docu-

mentation and engineering services was on time and all the milestones were

completed within the foreseen time frame. The engineering services were

provided in a professional way and the cooperation and coordination with

the engineers was smooth and hassle-free. A highlight was that the service

provided by inge® did not only focus on the company‘s own equipment but

also took into consideration upstream and downstream treatment processes.

inge® reacted quickly to all our project-related requests and showed a high

degree of responsiveness.”
