LG Water Solutions, part of LG Chem and manufacturer of the full line of high-efficiency NanoH2O reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, has been chosen by Sohar SWRO Company to supply its high rejection seawater RO membranes to the Sohar desalination plant in Oman.

The Sohar desalination plant will produce 250 million litres of water per day and serve approximately 800,000 residents.

The plant was designed by Valoriza Agua, one of the leading water technology companies in Spain which boasts a portfolio of more than 100 water treatment plants throughout Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Tunisia, Middle East, Brazil, Australia and Chile.

"We are extremely honoured to have been chosen by Valoriza Agua, a leader in desalination, as the membrane supplier for the Sohar plant," said Chul Nam, vice president of LG Chem. "This is a significant project for LG Chem and it is a true testament to the hard work and effort of our sales and operations teams to deliver the highest quality membrane products worldwide."

Since LG Chem's acquisition of Los Angeles-based NanoH2O in May 2014, the company's product portfolio has rapidly expanded to include high rejection brackish water RO (BWRO) membranes, anti-fouling BWRO and residential RO membranes. LG Water Solutions is a business unit of LG Chem and boasts approximately 20 sales offices worldwide and almost 1,000 installations across the globe. - TradeArabia News Service
