Desalination Projects

JEBEL ALI GAS TURBINE & DESALINATION STATION "G" PROJECT

On 22 August 1990, A Consortium was formed among SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, BILFAL LTD, WEIR WESTGARTH LTD, DUTCO BALFOUR BEATTY & WAAGNERBIRD AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT to undertake a Turn-Key Desalination Plant for DEC ( Dubai Electricity Co.). On 14 September 1990, BILFAL LTD ( Erection / Construction Management) and WEIR WESTGARTH LTD ( Leader ) formed a Sub Consortium for Design, Manufacture, Supply, Erection, Construction and Commissioning of self contained Gas Turbine & Desalination Sections, with Gas Turbine Generator Units having a total capacity of 400 MW (+10%), and MSF desalination units, including auxiliaries, accessory instruments and controls, having a total capacity of 56 MIGD.

RAS ABU FONTAS - B - QATAR DESALINATION PLANT

In 1994 BILFAL were awarded from WEIR WESTGARTH LTD. a contract for RAS ABU FONTAS - B- Project for the Ministry of Electricity and Water, QATAR. The scope of work included Engineering, Fabrication, Transportation and Supervision of Final Assembly of:

Nos 5 Evaporator Units each consisting of Nos 10 modules of Nos 18 stages, Brine Sump and Brine Entry Box
Water Boxes (Nos 4 single and Nos 18 double for each evaporator)
Nos 5 Deaerator Units complete with Internals

Piping

MEDINA - YANBU DESALINATION PLANT PROJECT

In 1991 BILFAL were awarded a contract for the implementation of the MSF Desalination Plant, Phase 2, Lot 2, Consisting of Four MSF Desalination Units, having production capacity of 35,900 cum/ day each, and complete with auxiliary plants and utilities such as water intake, potabilisation, distillate water lines, structires and cranes. The Plant was delivered in Consortium with Snamprogetti Saudi Arabia Ltd ( as the leader ) and Saudi Condreco Ltd. Work involved the Design, Manufacturing, Supply, Erection, Construction and Commissioning of the Plant.

OTHER PROJECTS

Since the last few years, especially, from 2000, the conventional technology of Power/ Desalination Plants are undergoing massive changes in pace with the increasing demands and also with economically viable options. This Phenomena necessitated the requirements of cost effective equipment, such as T.C.D. ( Thermo Compressor Desalination ) Units, in high demands.

Weir Westgarth/ Entropie awarded eight Nos. of such Units to BILFAL for their United Arab Emirates Projects.

In March 2001 BILFAL were awarded a Contract by Hitachi Zosen for the fabrication of 3 x 7.5 MIGD Evaporator Units & Steel Supporting Structures.

These Units, having a total weight of 1830 tons each, were assembled on their permanent supporting structures in BILFAL Construction Yard and transported as one complete module through the nearest Jubail Industrial Port to the Barka Power & Desalination Plant Project Phase I, Site in Sultanate of Oman.
