Metito

The world's largest floating desalination barges, primarily for the Saudi National Shipping Company (Bahri) and the Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC).

Specs

These barges are specifically designed for mobility and rapid deployment to meet seasonal water demands, or to provide emergency water security. The barges utilize a modularized design to minimize shipyard manpower and expedite installation.

Capacity: A total capacity of water each barge delivers 50,000 m3/day

Power Generation: Each barge features an integrated, independent power plant with a capacity of up to 21 Megawatt including full redenduncy

Fuel System: Equipped with three-engine units utilizing a dual-fuel system for Light Fuel Oil (LFO) and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to ensure operational flexibility in different locations.

Durability: The marine systems are meticulously engineered to last for 20 years without the need for dry-docking.

Construction & Deployment Advantages

Mobility: The plants can be easily towed to different coastal cities as water needs change.

Efficiency: By utilizing pre-assembled modules, it has significantly reduces the standard Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) duration.

Sustainability: The floating design carries a lower environmental footprint than land-based plants; waste liquid is further diluted onsite using existing seawater to protect marine life.

Advanced Treatment Technologies

Integrates with several high-value engineering solutions to optimize space and performance on the mobile platforms:

Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO): The core desalination process used to produce high-quality potable water.

i-UF (Integrated Ultra-Filtration): An innovative technology hat combines ultra-filtration with self-cleaning filtration in the pre-treatment package to save space and reduce power consumption.

Independent Intake/Outfall: Each barge operates with its own dedicated intake and outfall systems, allowing it to function autonomously once connected to a shore-side header system.
