Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction (Geewon Park, President & CEO) announced that Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) signed an agreement with Doosan for an MED Unit, worth US$ 124 million, to be constructed in the Yanbu Ph.2 Plant in the Yanbu region, 350 km north of Jeddah.

Doosan will execute engineering, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and all other related scopes of work on an EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) basis. SWCC and Doosan will collaborate on advanced technology development through exchange of know-how and technology sharing.

This project order displays the market’s recognition of the MED market, which is growing due to the low energy consumption trends. In addition to the world’s largest single-unit Multi-Stage Flashing (MSF) evaporator of 20MIGD in capacity for the Ras Az Zawr Plant won last year, Doosan hopes to lead the future MED desalination plant market in partnership with SWCC.
