WABAG reinforces its position in the Global Desalination market, by securing a DBO order towards executing South East Asia’s largest Sea Water Desalination plant from Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board. The 400 MLD Sea Water Reverse Osmosis Project will be executed under the leadership of WABAG in joint venture with Metito Overseas Limited.


This scope includes the Design, Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, Testing, and Commissioning of the desalination plant and the associated seawater intake system, followed by 20 years of operation and maintenance. The plant will be equipped with state-of-the-art technologies like Lamella Clarifiers, Dissolved Air Flotation System, Gravity Dual Media Filters followed by Reverse Osmosis and Re-mineralization to produce clean drinking water.


This project will make Chennai, the Desalination Capital of India with almost 750 MLD of Desalinated water to be produced along the coast of Chennai and WABAG will contribute over 500 million liters of desalinated water every day of the total desalination capacity with successful commissioning of the plant. This order reinforces our technological superiority and competitiveness in the global desalination industry, and is a testament to our leadership. It puts WABAG on a path of continued growth and success in the future.
