PROJECT OBJECTIVE

Response to the growing demand for water

As a consequence of its growing population and economic development, daily water demand in Oman has been growing by 2%-3% annually. Demand has increased markedly in central Muscat, and the Government of Oman has launched multiple IWPs to redirect the situation.

Ghubrah Independent Water Project is being the first large-scale IWP in the river stream, Oman Power & Water Procurement Co (OPWP) initiated a competitive bidding process in 2012. Shareholders were awarded the contract to build the plant and Muscat City Desalination Company (MCDC) was incorporated to undertake the project.

How we made it happen

SWRO technology

The plant is based on SWRO technology and is one of the largest operating desalination plants in Oman. SWRO technology is a technology that has been implemented in numerous projects globally. The SWRO process extracts incoming water from the sea, putting it under pressure through semi-permeable RO Membranes to produce pure, high quality water.

Continuous monitoring system for all critical equipment (either by size or by plant typology) for the continuous operation of the desalination plant, including equipment such as seawater pumps and high pressure pumps. The chosen system in addition to the complete diagnostic capabilities of the machines includes the integration of the processed vibration parameters in the distributed control systems (DCS) and motor control systems (MCM) for their supervision and eventual triggering of the machines.

The scope of supply includes the validation and integration of sensors supplied by equipment manufacturers, supply of monitoring modules mounted in cabinets ready for installation in the plant, engineering of the monitoring project, configuration of the monitoring systems and communications, FAT tests, validation of the installation and wiring (performed by others), acceptance tests at the SAT plant, training in the use of the system and finally adjustment of the alarms for delivery of a 100% functional system to the customer. Remote diagnostic services of the monitored machines are also being carried out from the CMDT center.

RESULTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Validation and integration

Validation and integration of equipment successfully developed following all the customer's technical indications. In addition, FAT and installation validation tests are performed, as well as training in system operation and alarm settings. This implies the delivery of a 100% functional system to the customer.
