Italy's De Nora has won contracts to upgrade the Al Jubail Desalination Plant in Saudi Arabia, according to a statement from the Italian government.

The plant, a Saline Water Conversion Corporation initiative, will become the world's largest seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant, capable of producing up to 1 million cubic metres of seawater per day.
De Nora will provide three proprietary technologies for the plant, including a SEACLOR system for biofouling control, DE NORA TETRA underdrain filters for pretreatment before reverse osmosis, and Capital Controls Underwater Chlorine Dioxide Generators for final disinfection.
The company will also provide support during installation and operation. Construction is underway, with De Nora systems to be delivered later this year.
