Das Island is the centre of the UAE's offshore oil industry, lying in the heart of the Arabian Gulf, approximately 140 km north-west of Abu Dhabi.

The project will require the carrying out of detailed design, engineering, procurement, installation, construction, pre-commissioning and commissioning services for Das Island using reverse osmosis (RO) technology and a demineralisation unit to provide boiler feed water.

He went on to say "not only are we focused on expanding the company, but we are also maintaining and developing our obligation to creating a sustainable environment."
The whole project will house a reverse osmosis plant with a treated water capacity of 600,000 imperial gallons per day and a demineralization plant with a daily capacity of 80,000 imperial gallons. MetitoMetito will also handle the construction of the electrical substation and water storage tanks to support the plants.
