Xylem Inc. XYL, a leading global water technology company focused on addressing
the world's most challenging water issues, announced today that it has won a
contract to provide a dissolved air flotation (DAF) pretreatment system to
help ensure an uninterrupted potable water supply to Abu Dhabi Emirate and the
east coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The source water in the Gulf of
Oman is subject to harmful algal blooms (HABs) sometimes termed ‘red tides,'
which are aquatic blooms that contain large concentrations of potentially
toxic microorganisms. Xylem's Leopold® Clari-DAF® system is more than 95
percent effective in removing these microorganisms prior to desalination
ensuring the production of clean, fresh drinking water.
Xylem will develop the new pretreatment DAF system for the Fujairah 1
Independent Water and Power Plant (IWPP), which is owned by Emirates Sembcorp
Water & Power Company (ESC), a joint venture between Abu Dhabi National Energy
Company (TAQA), Sembcorp Industries and Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity
Authority (ADWEA). The new system will have a capacity of 136,000 cubic meters
per day (reverse osmosis output) to accommodate an anticipated 15 percent
increase in the population by 2016. It will serve both the existing and new
seawater reverse osmosis plants, which have a combined capacity of 306,760
cubic meters per day and will be one of the world's largest operating
desalination plants.
