New Desalination Facility to Help Quench Bushehr Thirst

To help supply potable water to residents in the small towns of the southern Bushehr Province, the first phase of a 36,000-cubic meter desalination plant is set to become operational, the project’s manager said.
“The facility can now process 12,000 cubic meters of seawater per day, but the capacity will triple in the second phase that is expected to go on stream in 2023,” Hossein Bahari was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Built by the engineering and energy enterprise MAPNA Group in the form of a BOO (build–own–operate) contract, the initiative was completed in three years, he added.
According to the official, three other plants, namely Borazjan, Vahdatiyeh and Siraf, with a total capacity of 60,000 cubic meters per day are in different stages of construction and expected to become operational by March 2023.
