The demonstration project has been in continuous operation since November 2019, successfully meeting the project\u2019s water quality, efficiency, cost, and energy consumption goals. The partner companies are now scaling the process up to 5000 m3\/d at the same site in Jeddah to serve the increasing water needs of local industry. The eventual CFRO capacity could be up to 15,000 m3\/d, doubling current freshwater production at the site. The CFRO process will deliver the additional fresh water without increasing the seawater inlet, brine outfall, or pre-treatment system.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SAWACO and Gradiant are in the process of forming a joint venture to deploy CFRO and other seawater desalination technologies across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is currently the world\u2019s largest desalination market, producing about one fifth of the world\u2019s desalinated water supply, with $80B projected to be spent on desalination projects over the next two decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt SAWACO, we have been looking for a seawater brine desalination technology for over a decade and only now have we found one that is reliable, energy efficient, and cost effective. Gradiant has ushered in a paradigm shift in membrane desalination that will have a huge impact on sustainable water supply in the coming years,\u201d said Nizar Kammourie, General Manager of SAWACO.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gradiant CEO Anurag Bajpayee said, \u201cThe level of interest in high recovery desalination is unprecedented. We are proud of the technological feat that our team has achieved and excited about the opportunities that the future holds for CFRO. We have built a great relationship with SAWACO and are looking forward to working with them to pursue growing opportunities throughout the Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gradiant has positioned itself to better serve the Middle East and North Africa with growing ground presence led by Vice President of Business Development, Sadasivam Krishnan and Lead Business Development Manager, Carem Habayeb with an expected showcase of CFRO\u2019s process at SAWACO\u2019s Jeddah plant this April. With over 23 patents in the region that cover Gradiant\u2019s technical scope and a growing team, the company looks to position itself as a major player for industrial and seawater desalination.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gradiant \uc18c\uac1c<\/strong><br \/>Gradiant is a Different Kind of Water Company.
