Jubail 3A Independent Seawater Desalination Project (IWP)

Products：304/316 Stainless Steel

Quantity: 730 tons

Project location: Located on the Persian Gulf coast, approximately 18 kilometers south of Jubail in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.

Date: 2020.12

I. Project Background: A "Source of Life" in the Desert

Project Name: Jubail 3A Independent Seawater Desalination Project (IWP)

Project Status: This project is a key infrastructure project under Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030," employing advanced reverse osmosis (RO) technology to produce 600,000 cubic meters of freshwater per day.

Environmental Challenges: Located on the Persian Gulf coast, the project faces extreme environments year-round, including high salt spray, high humidity, and extremely high temperatures (above 50°C in summer). The seawater desalination process involves a large amount of corrosive media, placing extremely high demands on the pitting corrosion resistance of the metal materials.
