Doosan to build desalination plant in Iran

TEHRAN, June 28, 2016

South Korea's Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Company has been awarded a 220-billion-won ($185 million) contract to build a desalination plant in Iran, according to a report.

Under the deal with the Iran-based Sazeh Sazan, the Korean group will construct the facility over the next two years and also conduct operation and maintenance work for 12 years, reported Iran Daily.

Doosan Heavy's deal marks the first for a desalination plant in the Middle East country following the removal of international sanctions earlier this year.

The facility will process 200,000 tonnes of sea water into fresh water a day, enough for 670,000 people, according to Doosan Heavy Industries.

In May, the Korean group had clinched a 460-billion-won ($387 million) deal to build a desalination plant  in Kuwait.
