Aqualia’s Commitment to Water Sustainability in Saudi Arabia: Highlighting the KAIA SWRO Desalination Plant and Key Desalination Projects
Aqualia, one of the world’s leading companies in water management and desalination, continues to build a legacy of innovation and sustainability in Saudi Arabia, contributing significantly to the Kingdom’s water sector.
Through its strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technologies, Aqualia is playing a pivotal role in supporting Saudi Vision 2030, with a focus on water sustainability, resource management, and expanding access to clean water.
At the heart of Aqualia’s operations in Saudi Arabia are three major projects that demonstrate the company’s commitment to advancing desalination technologies: the North Cluster, South Cluster, and the operation and maintenance (O&M) of HAAISCO.
These initiatives are central to Aqualia’s efforts to support the Kingdom’s growing water demand and ensure the efficient use of resources across the region.
One of the key achievements in Aqualia’s portfolio is the KAIA SWRO Desalination Plant, a vital solution to address water scarcity challenges.
This high-capacity desalination facility utilizes advanced Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) technology to deliver 42,500 cubic meters of potable water daily to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
Serving over 30 million travelers annually, including Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, the plant provides a sustainable solution by optimizing energy efficiency and reducing emissions, ensuring a reliable and eco-friendly water supply to meet the demands of one of the busiest airports in the region.
With the ability to produce 42,500 cubic meters of fresh water daily, the KAIA SWRO Desalination Plant exemplifies Aqualia’s commitment to delivering sustainable water solutions that adapt to changing environmental conditions.
This project is a testament to the company’s ability to combine efficiency and sustainability, providing Saudi Arabia with the resources it needs to meet its water challenges head-on.
In addition to the KAIA SWRO Desalination Plant, Aqualia is actively involved in other critical projects such as Sea4Value, a cutting-edge initiative that focuses on extracting valuable resources from seawater.
This project, which will be showcased at the IDRA World Congress in Abu Dhabi in December 2024, highlights Aqualia’s innovative approach to desalination beyond just water production.
Moreover, Aqualia’s MIDES Project, which explores the future of microbial desalination, has garnered international attention. The project is a clear example of how Aqualia is driving the next generation of sustainable desalination technologies.
Aqualia’s work in Saudi Arabia extends far beyond individual projects. The company remains committed to supporting the Kingdom’s sustainable development goals, ensuring that water resources are managed effectively for future generations.
With ongoing projects like the North and South Clusters, and the O&M of HAAISCO, Aqualia is setting the standard for water management in the region.
As Aqualia continues to expand its operations in Saudi Arabia, it remains focused on delivering innovative, sustainable, and scalable water solutions that align with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and help secure the future of water for all.
