VBTM’s engineers and construction partner ACWA designed and installed a 100 cubic metres per day Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) water treatment plant serving a small barracks owned and operated by the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defence. SWRO is a reverse osmosis desalination membrane process used to obtain drinking water. It is most commonly operated in water-scarce regions where there is no or limited surface or groundwater.

The facility comprised a raw water tank, membrane plant and final water tanks. VBTM provided detailed process design, support during the construction phase and assistance with commissioning the facility.
