On its completion, the desalination plant will save over 36 million m3 of fresh water per year.
WD News: SUEZ and its Chinese partners, Wanhua Chemical Group (Wanhua) and China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group (CRSH) have officially signed a cooperation agreement for a seawater desalination project for industrial application.
SUEZ will design and build a 100 MLD (million litre/day) seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant, in Penglai District, Yantai City, Shandong Province. The plant is designed to use seawater as a complementary water source for the chemical industrial complex.
While saving freshwater resources, the project will increase the resilience of the local water ecosystem and support Wanhua and its industrial partners in their ecological transformation.
“I am thrilled to collaborate with Wanhua and CRSH on our Shandong project and to turn it into a new standard of excellence in environmental cooperation between France and China,” said Sabrina Soussan, Chairman and CEO of SUEZ.
LIAO Zengtai, Chairman of Wanhua Chemical Group, said, “I am very encouraged by our cooperation with SUEZ to date. I expect this desalination project to become another benchmark and headline project.”
WANG Jianying, Chairman of China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group, said, “Like Wanhua, we look forward to continuing the partnership to achieve more outstanding results in areas such as infrastructure and environmental protection.”
