The contract was signed recently between Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction and Saudi Arabia.
The completed project is expected to produce 728 million liters of fresh water per day which is enough fresh water to meet the daily fresh water needs of 2,000,000 people.
Each of the football field sized evaporator units will weigh almost 4,000 tons and be 10.6m high x 29.2m wide and 100.4m long.
Of the eight units Doosan Vina’s desalination shop will be responsible for producing three of the evaporators which will convert salty sea water into 273 million liters of fresh water per day, the company said.
