Chabahar 200,000 m3 Water Desalination Plant

Project Overview

To meet the freshwater needs of the southeastern and eastern parts of the country, a plan for the exploitation and purification of seawater resources has been developed. The first phase of this national project involves transferring and purifying water from the Arabian Sea to provide a daily capacity of 200,000 cubic meters of freshwater in the eastern Chabahar region, using reverse osmosis (SWRO) technology. This method is considered as one of the most efficient and advanced for purifying saline water (5,000 ppm TDS) and converting it into freshwater.

It can effectively contribute to solving the problem of water scarcity in the country’s arid regions and promote the development of advanced water-dependent industries.

Drawing on the expertise of national specialists and the experience of Kayson Environmental Water Company in the construction of a 200,000 cubic meter seawater desalination project in Iran, Kayson Environmental Water Company has completed all the basic and additional engineering documents for the Chabahar project, in the form of an EPC contract. This achievement demonstrates the scientific and technical capabilities of the national forces in the field of modern water technologies. It is particularly notable in the reverse osmosis desalination sector and represents an important step towards localization and sustainable development, even under conditions of climatic and water resource constraints.

Scope of Work

Engineering services, supply of materials and equipment, execution operations, construction works, installation and commissioning, and one-year trial operation to execute and complete the reverse osmosis seawater desalination project, with a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters per day, located in the east of Chabahar, by the EPC method.
