Abengoa to Build Desalination Plant in Ghana

Abengoa has signed an agreement with Ghana Water Limited Company to construct a desalination plant in the town of Nungua in south-east Ghana for a total value of $115m.

The new desalination plant will have a capacity to produce 60,000m³ of water per day, supplying water to areas such as Teshie, Nungua and Tema.

The work also includes the development of the necessary infrastructure for seawater intake, application of the ultra-filtration pre-treatment system using proprietary technology, desalination using reverse osmosis, and the use of efficient energy-recovery solutions.

The plant will be operated by Abengoa for 25 years after it comes into operation.
