The Guinness World Record was recognized by the Guinness World Records in Riyadh. The first record for the world's largest reverse osmosis (RO) seawater desalination plant, managed by the Technical Affairs and Projects Sector at Saudi Water Authority, with a record production capacity of 670,852.4 cubic meters per day, and built on the smallest land area compared to its global counterparts by applying technical methodologies and value engineering, was recorded on February 25th.
This record was set on February 25th. <The Technical Affairs and Projects Sector at DEWA was able to set the second record in the name of the Kingdom, achieving the lowest energy consumption rate for a RO desalination plant in the world, amounting to 1.7 kWh per cubic meter in the salt separation stage, and the total energy consumption rate for this plant amounted to (2.34) kWh, which is the lowest in the world, was documented in the Shuaiba plant (Phase V) construction project on April 22nd and received praise from the World Bank, thus breaking the previous record of 2.27 kWh per cubic meter.
The Authority broke the previous record, which was also registered in the name of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which was 2.27 kWh per cubic meter.
The project embodies the embodiment of the world's largest RO plant. These projects, implemented by national cadres with advanced engineering expertise and technologies, embody the depth of local capabilities in this field, and embody an advanced global model in water management with these successive achievements, and reflect the Kingdom's technical development and operational leadership to compete with itself, thanks to the adoption and optimal utilization of the latest innovations, effective governance system and strategic investment in infrastructure, led by highly experienced and accumulated national competencies in all sectors of the Authority, especially the technical affairs and projects sector.
These projects reinforce the Authority's achievements in the field of water management. With these figures, KDIPA strengthens its track record of record achievements officially recorded by Guinness World Records, after it had previously recorded nine previous records, bringing its total documented achievements in the world encyclopedia to eleven world records, reflecting the Kingdom's position as a global center of excellence and knowledge in the water sector, and its vital role in shaping a more sustainable water future.
