VA TECH WABAG, a leading Indian multinational specialising exclusively in water technology, has received a Letter of Award from the Saudi Water Authority (SWA) for a large repeat project involving the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 50 million litres per day (MLD) Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis (BWRO) plant at Aljouf, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Under the scope of the project, WABAG will design, supply, construct, and commission the advanced treatment facility within a period of 14 months. The plant will treat raw water sourced from borewell fields containing rare elements, necessitating a highly resilient pre-treatment process.
The treatment train will include ceramic membrane technology, followed by micron cartridge filtration and reverse osmosis, ensuring consistent performance, long-term reliability, and a sustainable potable water supply for the region. The company has confirmed receipt of the Letter of Award, with contractual formalities now underway. The official execution start date will be announced following the signing of the contract.

He added that the company remains committed to delivering the project in line with the Kingdom’s sustainability goals and technology-driven water infrastructure vision.
