Sulzer pumps for Omani water project

Sulzer pumps for Omani water project

Sulzer is set to supply pumps for Sohar SWRO LLC, for the new 250,000 m3/day independent desalination plant in Sohar Oman.

The operation scheduled for 2018 will allow Oman Water and Procurement Company (OPWP) to cope with the growing water demand in the North Batinah region.

The contracts with Sulzer include the manufacturing, testing, packaging, and installation supervision of the main centrifugal pumps.

Seawater intake for the plant will be provided by Sulzer’s three big SJT vertical turbine pumps that will be installed at the nearby industrial port pumping station.

The package also comprises axially split MSD pumps for reverse osmosis membrane high-pressure feed service. High-suction pressure ZF pumps will boost the seawater pressurized in the energy recovery device by the reject brine.

In addition, Sulzer will supply its high-efficiency Ahlstar pumps for all other low-pressure applications. In total, Sulzer will deliver 49 pumping units to the new desalination plant.

Sulzer’s sales, tendering, and engineering teams from the UK, India, Finland, Spain, and Switzerland gathered a complete centrifugal pump package for the plant.
