JPMC to launch a seawater desalination project with British company
Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC) and the British Solar Water Plc, discussed on Wednesday, the necessary measures to implement a seawater desalination project with the aim of supplying the JPMC-affiliated Aqaba industrial complex with its needs of industrial water for production purposes.
During the coordination meeting attended by JPMC Chairman, Mohammad Thneibat, CEO of the British company, David Reavley, and CEO of the Government Investment Management Company, Khairy Amro, discussions went over details of the project, which will supply the Aqaba industrial complex with about 4 million cubic meters of industrial water annually.
Thneibat stressed the importance of this 'vital' project for JPMC and Aqaba industrial complex by reducing the latter's production costs, and providing job opportunities for the region's people after being trained by the British company on operation and maintenance work.
The project's total cost, which will depend on solar energy, stands at $100 million, will be implemented on the BOT principle for a 25- year period.
The project, he announced, will use a totally new technology to produce industrial water, adding that the produced secondary salts will be marketed abroad.
The project's civil works will start at the end of 2021, while its 'actual' production will begin in the first quarter of 2023, according to Thneibat.
