A plant equipped with WEG motors and inverters, it was honored and recognized by the Guinness World Records as “the largest reverse osmosis desalination installation in the world”.

Increasingly, the international water market needs structure and innovation to meet global needs. WEG, informed on April 26, which opened on March 31, in Saudi Arabia, the largest marine water desalination plant in the world, Rabigh 3, in which the Brazilian multinational participated as a supplier of motors and frequency inverters.

The success of the project was honored and recognized by Guinness World Records as “the largest reverse osmosis desalination plant in the world”.

With an exclusive structure to serve large engineering companies, WEG was part of this great international project as a supplier of motors and frequency inverters for the main processes of the water production chain, ranging from capture, pre-treatment and osmosis process reverse, until post-treatment.

Brazilian multinational leader in the manufacture of turbines, equipped the largest desalination plant on the planet, with 69 electric motors and 50 frequency inverters

In all, there are 69 electric motors and 50 medium voltage frequency inverters supplied by companies in the field, such as the Abengoa consortium, SIDEM and Sepco III, which is responsible for the engineering, supply, construction and commissioning of the plant.

Rabigh 3 was built on the west coast of the Red Sea and has the capacity to produce 600.000 m3 of water per day and supply approximately three million people. It is also characterized as the greenest plant in the world due to the lower consumption of electricity during day-to-day operations and also recorded the lowest noise rate.

“This commitment by WEG, based on exclusive service to large engineering companies, guaranteed the company new supplies in the Middle East, and also experience to meet the national demand, which is increasingly intense due to the new regulatory framework for basic sanitation, sanctioned in Brazil”, declared the Brazilian company.
