FUJAIRAH 1 INDEPENDENT WATER & POWER PLANT (F1 IWPP), UNITED ARAB EMIRATES Fujairah 1 Seawater Reverse Osmosis Expansion Innovative Energy and Water Resources Management Presentation by William Chang Executive Managing Director Emirates Sembcorp Water and Power Company
For nearly half a century, desalination has provided a reliable source of fresh water to the growing population and economies in the Gulf region. The level of development achieved thus far by the Gulf economies would not have been possible without the parallel implementation and development of desalination. 2
Obviously, desalination is critical for sustaining life and economic growth in the Gulf region. Some countries in the Gulf rely on desalination to produce 90% or more of their drinking water, and the overall capacity installed in this region amounts to about 40% of the world s desalinated water capacity. 3
A gradual but constant change in perspective and environmental awareness......is driving the technology for more efficient and environmentally friendly options and towards energy optimisation. 4
High energy footprint is the greatest drawback of desalination technology. In particular, thermal desalination technologies have been traditionally less energy efficient than Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO). However, there still are cogeneration configurations where Multiple Effect Distillation (MED) can be more effective, not only on the variable O&M costs but also to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy footprint. 5

F1 IWPP - Overall Plant Process 17
Hybrid Multi-stage Flash (MSF) / Reverse Osmosis (RO) Technology MSF heat reject can be used for RO plant - reduces Aux power and seawater intake requirement. Cost of potabilisation is minimised as less lime is required for maintaining Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the potable water. The different rate of blending can be done depending on the water quality requirement. Most suitable for GCC region because of the vast variation in the summer and winter power demand. Overall Aux power consumption kwh/m 3 plants as compared to only MSF plants. is lower for the hybrid 18

SWRO Expansion Project The main innovative aspects of the new F1 IWPP SWRO Expansion Project are: Seawater Abstraction Minimise Environmental Impact Availability during Red Tide Event 20
Seawater Abstraction Ability to recover Heat Reject from the MSF plant for reuse as part of seawater feed for RO plants. Heat Reject from MSF is blended with fresh seawater intake. This integrated stream is then used as feed for both existing and new RO plants. Grey Line : Existing Flow Blue Line: New SWRO Expansion Flow 21 21
Minimise Environmental Impact The seawater requirements for the plant are deemed to be extremely low and consequently: The additional chlorine required for disinfection will be minimal. Minimise environmental impact related to the brine discharge as the Heat Reject from the MSF plant will be reused as part of the seawater feed for the SWRO plant instead being discharged into the sea - minimising brine discharge helps to reduce the negative impact of salinity changes on aquatic flora and marine life. 22 22
Availability during Red Tide Red tide is the result of an influx of a type of algae bloom that turns the water to a reddish colour. The red tide problem has been growing over the past few years in the Gulf region, adversely impacting the important sea water desalination plants by clogging up dual media filters. The SWRO Expansion Project includes the installation of a new Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) system which will provide enhanced pre-treatment of seawater feeding into the RO plants. By improving the quality of the seawater feed, this system enhances the reliability and availability of the RO plants, particularly during red tide season. 23 23
