NanoH2O to supply nanocomposite RO membranes for Saudi desalination plants

US-based reverse osmosis (RO) membrane manufacturer NanoH2O has won two contracts for desalination plants in Saudi Arabia.

Under the first contract, awarded by Al Fatah Water and Power International, the company will supply nanocomposite RO membranes for phase II of the Jubail desalination plant, in which QuantumFlux membranes will produce 13,000m³ of water a day.

The second contract also involves the supply of nanocomposite reverse osmosis membranes, for a desalination plant designed by AES Arabia at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Research Park. The plant will produce 15,000m³ of water a day.

NanoH2O vice president of global sales and marketing Nicholas Dyner said that these are two important projects for the company’s growth in this critical region.

"We are extremely pleased to have been chosen by Al Fatah Water and Power International and AES Arabia to supply our high-rejection QuantumFlux membranes," Dyner added.

"The contracts are a testament to the growing global market acceptance of our innovative membrane technology, and the benefits of QuantumFlux membranes."
