CARAMONDANI DESALINATION PLANTS LTD |
This company owned and operated the FIRST desalination contract in Cyprus for 9 years the DHEKELIA DESALINATION PLANT.
| The plant, which came as a result of the
island’s continuously increasing demands for potable water, is a USD 142
million 10-year FIRST B.O.O.T. contract
(build-own-operate-transfer, back to the government) designed to produce
40,000m3 of potable water per day. |
The plant that was inaugurated in April 1997,
utilizes the Reverse Osmosis (RO) process to remove dissolved solids from raw
seawater and produce potable water in accordance with EU Drinking Water
Standardsand and using the DUPONT filament membranes.
Our firm, following international tenders for a NEW 20 year BOOT contract, has totally REFURBISHED the same plant utilising two KSB x 2.2 Megawatt high pressure pumps and spiral wound membranes to achieve the 40,000m³ of potable water per day with a BORON rejection of less than 0,5 ppm. The new plant SAVED 4 MEGAWATT IN ENERGY utilising the ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEMS OF E.R.I. USA. The plant was inaugurated in May 2007 after a stoppage of 6.5 months.
Furthermore due to the extraordinary drought on the island during the 2006-2007 season the government negotiated with our firm for a capacity increase of the plant to 60.000m³/Day in two stages. 10.000m³ for July 2008 and another 10.000 for April 2009.
