The Naqa’a desalination, Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) technology produces up to 150 MIGD potable water, equivalent to 681,900 m3/day. The principal project components include a 600m seawater open channel intake, a 3.6 km piped outfall, RO plant and potable water storage tanks.

The facility has a seawater intake and pumping system which has a screening and filtration system. In order to ensure the seawater is of a suitably high quality for use in the RO Plant, the pre-treatment is composed of coagulation, dosing and flocculation, high-rate Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) and Dual Media Filters (DMF).
