The client proposed to build 15 RO plants in Baghdad and adjacent municipalities. These systems needed to be capable of treating water of low, medium and high salinity (5,000-45,000 mg/l TDS). The capacity of the plants ranged from 200 cubic metres/day to 10,000 cubic metres/day. VBTM Associates Ltd provided conceptual designs and costings for the procurement and installation of the  plants. VBTM designed the systems according to the client’s specifications and included energy saving high capacity pumps, which would result in low operating costs.
