UAE inaugurates Phase 1 of Umm Al Qaiwain water desalination plant

Mr. Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, has stated that the project for the desalination plant in Umm Al Qaiwain is the largest in the country’s north.

It will provide world-class quality water using the best standards for the marine environment and water desalination, and it was implemented with high efficiency in delivering an environmental footprint, he said.

The plant is being built on 250,000 square metres at the cost of about AED2.2 billion, Al Mazrouei said, while inaugurating the first phase of the project. It will produce 50 million imperial gallons per daily (MIGD), while the total production capacity will reach 150 MIGD once commissioned. Based on Reverse Osmosis Technology, the project is expected to be commercially operational in the 3rd quarter of 2022.
