As global freshwater demand continues to grow, seawater desalination has become an important solution for addressing water scarcity and securing reliable water supplies for municipal and industrial applications.

The Nador Seawater Desalination Project in Morocco adopts proven Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) technology to remove salts and dissolved impurities from seawater, converting seawater into a valuable freshwater resource.

Project Overview

QT ENVIRO-TECH is supplying seawater desalination equipment for the Nador Seawater Desalination Project in Morocco.

The project is planned in two phases:

• Location: Nador, Morocco

• Technology: Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO)

• Phase I Capacity: 15,000 m³/day

• Phase II Capacity: 15,000 m³/day

• Total Planned Capacity: 30,000 m³/day

Phase I is currently under construction. Once completed and operational, the project is expected to significantly enhance the local freshwater supply capacity.

How Does SWRO Technology Work?

Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) is a membrane-based desalination process.

After pretreatment, seawater is pressurized by high-pressure pumps and fed into reverse osmosis membrane systems. Under pressure, water molecules pass through the semi-permeable membranes, while most dissolved salts and impurities are rejected and discharged with the concentrated brine.

The result is desalinated water that can undergo further treatment to meet the required water quality standards.

SWRO technology offers high desalination efficiency, reliable operation and a high level of automation, making it suitable for large-scale seawater desalination applications.

Project Benefits

By utilizing seawater as an alternative water source, the Nador project will help diversify local freshwater supplies.

Once completed and operational, the project is expected to support the demand for municipal drinking water and industrial water, strengthen regional water security and help address growing freshwater demand.
