Metito provides high purity water to six power plants enabling increased power generation to enhance economic growth with technology designed in the UAE
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Metito, the UAE based international water desalination and wastewater treatment specialist, today announced that its water demineralization technology is helping six power plants, at various locations across Egypt, to generate electricity.
The six plants generating additional power are owned by Egyptian electricity companies which include: Kuraimat, Al Atf, Nubaria, Tebbin, Cairo West and Sidi Krir. The combined power capacity of the six plants is 8,050 MW daily and Metito's project value is in excess of $54 M USD treating over 30,000 m3 of water per day. Five of these plants leverage local water sources. The Nile River is the source for the high purity water treatment plants and the post-treated water is repatriated to the Nile with a quality meeting and exceeding the local environmental regulations.
Metito has provided the plants with user friendly control systems, making it easy for the operators to monitor and control all operations.
"The Egyptian economy is growing at a rapid pace and the country's electricity needs are increasing simultaneously," said Karim Madwar, Managing Director, Metito Egypt. "Metito is proud to help augment the power production using our cutting edge water demineralization techniques."
While Metito is active on various projects across the country, it sees development of its international activities as essential to the sustained growth of the company. By investing in Egypt and further afield, Metito is setting the standards for this sector, and benefiting the UAE economy as a whole.
