The Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) will begin using the solar power in desalinating water in the Al Khafji desalination plant within six months, Alyaum newspaper reported, citing Ahmed Alamoudi, Head, RO technologies, Saline Water Desalination Research Institute.

 

The solar-powered water desalination plant in Al-Khafji will be able to supply 60,000m³ of desalinated seawater a day to the city, ensuring a constant water supply throughout the year, according to earlier news reports.

 

The move to solar power comes as SWCC is seeking to cut operating expenses of desalination plants.
