is locked in polar ice, living things, the ground and of course . . . the sea.\u00a0 With water scarcity a pressing global issue of ever-increasing importance, utilizing desalination technology \u2013 turning seawater into clean and safe drinking water \u2013 is a vital part of working towards a sustainable solution.<\/p>\n<p>With construction of the Shuqaiq 3 Independent Water Project (IWP), US$ 600 million investment currently well underway in Saudi Arabia, a new video has been released showcasing the state-of-the-art technology and engineering at the plant as we follow the desalination process.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hqBcahFXiF8\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Located on the Red Sea

Solutions<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/alj-enterprises.com\/\">Abdul Latif Jameel Enterprises<\/a>; the project has already <a

the desalination plant will use more than 7.000 reverse osmosis pressure vessels, equivalent to 54 kilometers, with more than 45,000 membranes working simultaneously to produce more than 18 million liters of pure water per hour.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s 450,000 cubic meters per day, or around 180 Olympic size swimming pools.<\/p>\n<p>Shuqaiq 3 will supply drinking water to over 1.8 million people over 25 years, as well as provide water for agriculture and industry, bringing us one step closer to providing clean safe drinking water to those facing water scarcity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":89161,"template":"","tags":[],"newscategory":[150],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
