The One Million Project, which will initiate seawater reverse osmosis (RO) technology at the Al Jubail Desalination plant, has seen Yokogawa Saudi Arabia awarded an order to supply control systems, safety instrumented systems, production management systems, operator training simulators, and cybersecurity solutions.
Installation is planned to be completed by January 2024, with the new facilities fully functioning by December 2024. Yokogawa has worked on more than 100 desalination plant projects across the world, including the delivery of control systems for desalination facilities in Saudi Arabia, as well as monitoring systems for pipelines that distribute desalinated water to urban areas.

The construction contractor for the project, a world-scale facility with a water production capacity of one million cubic meters per day, is a consortium between Saudi Services for Electro Mechanic Works Company and Metito Saudi Arabia. The contract was awarded by the Saline Water Conversion Corporation.
The current multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) facilities will be replaced with RO facilities as part of the project. Extending the life of an existing plant is viewed as a more environmentally beneficial solution than building an entirely new facility.
