Oman's Solar Water Treatment Plant Revolutionizes Oil Industry

• Revolutionizing water treatment in Oman, Heliovis AG and Trevi Systems Inc collaborate on solar-powered plant for ARA Petroleum. Sustainable, efficient, and groundbreaking technology at work.

Austrian solar-tech company Heliovis AG has completed and commissioned Oman's first solar water treatment plant at Qarat al Milh, near Qarn Alam. The plant, built for Omani ARA Petroleum, utilizes US Trevi Systems Inc's forward osmosis technology. Operations are set to begin in mid-August, with the plant expected to produce up to 140 cubic meters of freshwater per day.

The pilot facility integrates Heliovis' solar thermal energy technology with Trevi Systems' water treatment solution, operating at around 180°C. A thermal storage system allows for continuous 24/7 operation, transforming hyper-saline produced water into high-quality freshwater. This innovative plant marks a significant step towards sustainable water treatment in Oman.
