\nSaudi Arabia, which depends on desalination for most of its fresh water needs, has implemented many ideas to make desalination a more economically viable and eco \u2013friendly option, which includes setting up solar powered desalination plants<\/a>. Recently, Saudi infrastructure developer ACWA Holding joined hands with Japanese companies, Toyobo and Itochu corporations to form the Arabian Japanese Membrane company. They plan to construct a plant to manufacture reverse osmosis membrane elements used for desalination. This $352 million facility will be the first plant to produce desalination equipment on such a large scale. It will also manufacture \u201chollow-fiber\u201d membranes which have a variety of other applications apart from desalination of water. The company plans to make solar powered desalination equipment to realize the country\u2019s aim of becoming a member of the International Renewable Energy Group (IRENA).<\/p>\n
\nThis plant, construction for which is supposed to start in 2011, will be a great factor in increasing water supply and reducing the high energy required for desalination in the region.
