Modern Water to Build Desalination Plant in Oman

Modern Water has received a contract to build and operate a desalination plant at Al Naghdah in the Al Wusta region of Oman.

The contract was awarded by Oman’s Public Authority for Electricity and Water.

The plant will provide 200m³ of fresh water per day, which will be supplied to the local community.

Modern Water said the plant will be the world’s first fully commercial application of forward osmosis.

The plant will be built on Modern Water’s patented manipulated osmosis process, which was designed to achieve significant cost savings and use less energy.
