오만의 수르(Sur) 해수 담수화 처리공장의 소유주이자 운영기업인 샤르퀴야 담수 회사(Sharqiyah Desalination Company)는 자사 처리공장에서 10.6MIGD(4만8천m³/d)의 확대 제안에 대한 승인을 위해 오만 입찰청(Tender Board)에 응찰을 했다.
SDC사와 오만의 수전력청(PAEW)과의 물 구매약정에 의거해 동 회사가 단독 입찰자로 선정될 수 있지만 승인을 얻어야만 한다.
SDC사는 본래 Veolia Water Middle East사와 National Power & Water Co LLC사의 합작투자회사이지만 2013년 6월에 회사 주식의 35%를 IPO(주식공개상장)하기로 결론을 내렸다. 이로 인해 베올리아(Veolia)사가 35.7%로 최대주주로 남았다.

Oman's Sur desalination plant seeks large expansion
The owner and operator of Oman's Sur seawater desalination plant, Sharqiyah Desalination Company (SDC), has filed a bid with the Oman Tender Board for approval of a proposed expansion of 10.6 MIGD (48,000 m³/d) to the plant.
Under the water purchase agreement between SDC and the Public Authority for Electricity & Water, the company can nominate itself as the sole bidder, but has to get approval.
SDC was originally a joint venture between Veolia Water Middle East and National Power & Water Co LLC, but concluded an initial public offering for 35% of the company's shares in June 2013. This left Veolia as the largest shareholder with 35.7%.
The expansion will raise the size of the reverse-osmosis plant, Oman's first independent water project, to 30 MIGD (136,380 m³/d).
