🌊 Exciting Announcement: DRC-Chemtec & Waterwhelm Win 🌊 We are thrilled to share that DRC-Chemtec, in partnership with Waterwhelm, has been selected by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) and its prestigious arm, the Water Technologies Innovation Institute & Research Advancement (WTIIRA), as the selected party for the installation, operation, and evaluation of forward osmosis (FO) technology in a pilot project This milestone not only showcases our commitment to innovation but also aligns with Saudi Arabia's vision to explore diverse desalination technologies. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a global leader in desalination, is at the forefront of embracing alternative solutions to meet its water needs sustainably. The adoption of forward osmosis by SWCC through WTIIRA underlines the nation's dedication to reducing reliance on traditional energy-intensive desalination methods. This initiative is a testament to Saudi Arabia's proactive approach to securing water resources for its future while minimizing environmental impact. At DRC-Chemtec, we have consistently concentrated on the latest innovative water treatment technologies aimed at lowering energy consumption, thereby promoting a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to water desalination. This project with Waterwhelm is a perfect embodiment of our mission to contribute to a sustainable future by innovating in the field of water treatment. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Waterwhelm team, with a special mention to Richard Wood, PhD, for his unwavering support and patience throughout the bidding process. It is through collaborative efforts like these that we can achieve groundbreaking advancements in water technology. Together, we are setting new benchmarks for sustainable water solutions in Saudi Arabia and beyond. Thank you to the SWCC, WTIIRA, and every member of the DRC-Chemtec and Waterwhelm teams involved in making this project a reality. Here's to a future where water sustainability is not just a goal but a practice. #DRCChemtec #Waterwhelm #SWCC #WTIIRA #ForwardOsmosis #SustainableDesalination #Innovation #WaterTechnology #SaudiVision2030

I’m pleased to have contributed to EWEC’s decarbonisation journey over the last five years. It’s been satisfying to see our planning come to fruition in the form of several mega PV and RO projects that are now operational. This is just the beginning too – EWEC’s new decarbonisation report introduces our planning approach and highlights some key changes we expect as we effect a secure, cost-effective transition to clean energy.

Saudi Arabia today relies on dozens of facilities that transform water from the Gulf and Red Sea into something potable. Solar panels of Jazlah plant in #Jubail soak up blinding noontime rays that help power a water desalination facility in eastern Saudi Arabia, a step towards making the notoriously emissions-heavy process less environmentally taxing. #Jazlah is the first plant to integrate #desalination with solar power on a large scale. #SalineWaterConversionCorporation #SWCC #SaudiArabia #solarpower #sustainabledevelopment #energytransition #solarpowerdesalination

Oman’s first green hydrogen station expected to open this year ◼ Under the patronage of Minister of Energy and Minerals, Shell Oman celebrated the laying of the foundation stone for the Sultanate's first green hydrogen station. ◼ Located near Muscat International Airport, the station is a key component of Shell Oman’s ‘Green Hydrogen for Transportation’ project.
