AQUACHLOR® Mixed Oxidants technology drives safer, sustainable water disinfection at the country's landmark NAQAA SWRO plant.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
During the event, the companies demonstrated how this technology helps regional operators cut operating costs and minimize reliance on hazardous chlorine-based chemicals. The successful showcase allowed EEIC and Emerald Ecotechnologies to engage directly with industry stakeholders looking to optimize their current utility infrastructure.
A key UAE reference project highlighted during the exhibition was the NAQAA SWRO Desalination Plant in Umm Al Quwain, which has a potable water treatment capacity of approximately 684,000 m³/day. AQUACHLOR® has been selected as a chlorine dioxide replacement solution for the facility, with deployment planned later this year. Once implemented, the project is expected to deliver a reported 91% reduction in operating expenditure (OPEX) while maintaining stable residual disinfection performance and WHO-compliant potable water quality without harmful disinfection by-products like bromate, chlorate and chlorite.
Ramiz Parbalkar, Head of Water Technology Business Unit at EEIC, said: “The UAE continues to lead regional investment in advanced water infrastructure and desalination projects, with an increasing focus on operational efficiency, sustainability, and long-term water security. As an EPC company supporting complex utility and infrastructure projects across the region, EEIC works closely with operators to help integrate practical and scalable technologies into critical water infrastructure. Through our partnership with Emerald Ecotechnologies, we demonstrated solutions at the event that help reduce chemical dependency, lower operating costs, and enhance operational safety.”
Petr Gnatyuk, CEO, Emerald Ecotechnologies, added: “Utilities today are looking for technologies that can deliver stronger disinfection performance while also simplifying operations and reducing lifecycle costs. Throughout the exhibition, we saw growing regional interest in solutions that are effective, cheap and reduce the demand in transportation and storage of hazardous chemicals.”
The showcased solution also supports broader industry efforts to reduce disinfection by-products (DBPs), improve biofilm control within water distribution networks, and enhance operational safety by minimizing the handling and storage of hazardous chemicals.
