Water Tariff Cost and Total Water Cost in SWRO Plants
*****************************************************
The price of the desalination water of seawater is coming down to level making affordable to global world. Here are interesting figures of the tariff cost for SWRO Projects:
1. Al Dur SWRO Plant 1.5 US$/m3
2. Fujairah II Hybrid 0.81 US$/m3
3. Mostaganem SWRO 0.73 US$/m3
4. Cape Djinet SWRO Algeria 0.73 US$/m3
5. Magtaa SWRO Algeria 0.56 US$/ m3
6. Tenes SWRO, Algeria 0.59 US$/ m3
7. Oued Sebt SWRO 0.68 US$/ m3
8. El Tarf SWRO 0.89 US$/m3
9. Al Taweelah SWRO UAE 0.76 US$/m3
10. Sur SWRO 0.98 US$/m3
11. Ashkelon SWRO 0.57 US$/m3
12. Umm ul Quwain 0.76 US$/m3
13. Sorek II 0.41 US$/m3 (Unbelievable Number)
The decrease in cost is at the expanse of many important factors. One of the them is that the role of consultant is diminishing fast in IWP set-up. Hence the share attributed to the consultant cost is almost insignificant. The other is the quality of materials. Instead of Super Austenitic Steel (254 SMO-UNS 31254), now Duplex stainless steel is being used for High Pressure Feed and Brine Piping. Another one is the disappearance of high quality but relatively expansive HFF Membranes.
