Norit X-Flow to provide ultrafiltration for Qingdao desalination project in China

20 August 2010

Norit X-Flow has entered into an agreement with Befesa to supply the ultrafiltration pretreatment technology for the Qingdao desalination project in Shandong Province, China.

Befesa is responsible for the design, construction and operation of the desalination plant under a 25-year contract.

The Qingdao desalination plant, which is designed to process 100 000 cubic metres of water per day, will have 2280 Norit X-Flow SEAGUARD membrane modules arranged on 20 skids, each with a 120 UF module configuration.
 
The desalination project is expected to be commissioned in 2012.
