| Cadagua to build desalination plant in Morocco Cadagua, the Ferrovial Agroman subsidiary that is specialized in the design, construction and operation of water treatment plants, has been selected by the Moroccan company OCP (Office Cherifien des Phosphates) to design and build a seawater desalination plant based on reverse osmosis in the Jorf Lasfar industrial complex, 100 kilometers south of Casablanca. The project will cost 60 million euro. The plant will have a capacity of 75,800 cubic meters. OCP has also envisaged two future expansions in order to attain a final output of 222,200 cubic meters per day in the medium term. The contract includes the design, manufacture, supply, construction, assembly, testing and commissioning of the desalination plant. The facility will incorporate energy recovery devices and will feature the latest technology in pre-treatments— dissolved air flotation (DAF) and ultra-filtration—to improve water quality. OCP is the world's largest exporter of phosphate and derivatives; it has 18,000 employees and reported 4.5 billion dollars in sales in 2010, i.e. 3.5% of Morocco's GDP and just over 25% of its total exports. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
