How significant is it in that respect? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It was doubly significant, in that not only was it the first major project for Almar Water Solutions, but along with the Rabigh III desalination plant, it was the first project in Saudi Arabia\u2019s new water privatization program.<\/p>\n<p>Winning this tender with our consortium really demonstrated that we have the experience and expertise to develop \u2013 and win \u2013 successful bids.\u00a0 It showed that we can be competitive on these huge projects and demonstrated our credibility, both to the market and to our partners.<\/p>\n<h2><strong> Almar is a partner in the consortium that was awarded the tender. How important were these partnerships to your successful bid?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These partnerships were essential to the success of our bid.\u00a0 In Acciona, we partnered with the best EPC contractor with the best references and the strongest credibility; a partner we knew we could rely on to maintain the highest level of quality and deliver the project on schedule and on budget.<\/p>\n<p>With Acciona on board, we needed a strong financial partner with experience and reputation in the sector, someone who was comfortable with the terms of the project and the warranties for the country, and that was Marubeni.<\/p>\n<p>The third key partner is Rawafid, the local partner, who bring a lot of local knowledge and understanding to the consortium, particularly in terms of managing the labor requirements and local issues.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-93442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Shuqaiq-logos.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2109\" height=\"270\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong> What experience did the Almar team have of the Saudi Arabian market, and of the Middle East water services market in general?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Middle East comprises between 70% to 80% of the total global market, which is huge. \u00a0If you want to be a player in the sector, you have to be in the Middle East. \u00a0Personally, I first gained experience in the region in the 1990s, working on a couple of smaller thermal desalination plants.\u00a0 At the time, reverse osmosis membrane technology was still being refined.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_92182\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92182\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-92182\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alj.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Shuqaiq-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-92182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some of the reverse osmosis pressure vessels at the Shuqaiq 3 IWP construction site.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>At the beginning of this century, membrane technology had advanced to the point where it was even more competitive in terms of efficiency than the thermal process, and so the new desalination plants being developed started to use the membrane process, rather than thermal.<\/p>\n<p>I worked on a major project in Oman and\u00a0 I also worked on a pioneering project in Saudi Arabia at Al Khafji, which combined solar power and desalination.<\/p>\n<p>In the UAE, we also won two very innovative projects with Mazda.\u00a0 One was about concentrating the brine discharge from the desalination plant in one specific installation using evaporators. \u00a0The second project was a membrane distillation technology in forward osmosis.<\/p>\n<p>So, we definitely have some previous experience of success in the region.\u00a0 With the Shuqaiq 3 plant, we have demonstrated our experience and our commitment to continue innovating to help find solutions to the water challenges this region faces.<\/p>\n<h2><strong> What are the most impressive features of Shuqaiq III in terms of the technology?
