On daily basis, it will desalinate around 200,000 tons of water, which would be supplied to mines in the region in annual capacity enough for 670,000 people following completion of its construction in October 2018.

Doosan will take up engineering, procurement, construction and test operation of the facility and also provide operation and maintenance (O&M) services until October 2030.

Yoon Seok-won, the executive vice president and CEO of Doosans Water BG, said, the latest deal comes as a result of persistent and all-around endeavors.

Earlier in April, the company had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iranian National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company (NWWEC).
