Integrated ETP and SWRO Desalination Facilities Ensuring Water Security for Saudi ARAMCO in Jazan Economic City
WABAG has developed two critical water infrastructure assets for SAUDI ARAMCO in Jazan Economic City—an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and a Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant. Together, these strategic facilities ensure reliable industrial water supply and sustainable wastewater management supporting the region’s industrial growth.
Advanced ETP for Industrial and Municipal Wastewater Reuse
The 40 MLD ETP employs a multistage industrial treatment process covering pre-treatment, primary clarification, oxidation ditch, dual media filtration, chlorination, and sludge digestion. The plant enables the reuse of 32 MLD of industrial wastewater and 8 MLD of municipal wastewater to support resource recovery and circularity.
High-Capacity SWRO Delivering Continuous Industrial-Grade Water Supply
The 60 MLD SWRO facility treats seawater from the Red Sea to generate high-quality potable water for industrial consumption. The plant integrates dissolved air flotation and ultrafiltration for pretreatment, followed by two-stage RO with remineralization and CO₂ stabilization to ensure reliable and energy-efficient desalination performance for ARAMCO’s operations.
End-to-End EPC Delivery Compliant with ARAMCO Standards

Seawater intake system, dissolved air flotation (DAF), ultrafiltration, 2-stage RO system, and post-treatment comprising remineralization and COâ‚‚ dosing
Impact — Reliable Water Supply and Industrial Sustainability for Jazan Economic City
The project treats 40 MLD of wastewater, with 10,000 m³/day reused for irrigation, while simultaneously producing 60 MLD of desalinated water to ensure a dependable industrial water supply for Jazan Economic City. By significantly reducing reliance on freshwater sources, the facilities contribute to long-term resource security and operational resilience. The initiative strongly supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by reinforcing sustainable industrial growth and enabling efficient water management across one of the country’s most strategic economic hubs.
