The Taweelah Reverse Osmosis (RO) facility at the Al Taweelah Power and Water Desalination Complex in Abu Dhabi is the largest RO water desalination plant. The plant is 44 per cent bigger than the world’s current largest RO plant in terms of capacity, supplying 909,000 cubic metres per day.
The Taweelah RO desalination facility sets new benchmarks for efficiency and cost of water produced with the adoption of RO technology instead of thermal desalination.
A partnership between Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) and Mubadala Investment Company holds a 60 per cent equity interest in the Taweelah RO project with the remaining 40 per cent held by ACWA Power.
