Detailed Engineering Services for 100 MLD Desalination Plant at Minjur, Kattupalli, Chennai

The Chennai Water Desalination Ltd. (CWDL), a special purpose vehicle of IVRCL Infrastructure & Projects Ltd and Befesa Agua of Spain, was created in 2005 to design, build, own and operate the seawater desalination plant for the Chennai Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB). In September 2005, the CMWSSB signed a bulk water purchase agreement with CWDL to purchase water from the plant. At the end of the 25-year agreement, the plant will be transferred to the Government of Tamil Nadu.

 

With an installed capacity to produce 100 million liters of drinking water per day (MLD), it is the largest such plant in operational in India. Befesa Spain had entrusted the work of Detailed Engineering services to Fichtner India.
