[파키스탄] 과다르 해수담수화시설 사용 허가

파키스탄이 남서부의 항구도시, 과다르(Gwadar)에 위치한 18만9천㎥/일 규모의 역삼투(RO) 해수담수화 시설의 사용을 허가했다.

이 시설은 과다르 지역 중에서도 특히 도시산업지구의 총 물수요량의 3분의 1 가량을 충족시킬 것으로 기대된다. 지역은 이외에도 앙카라 카우르댐(Ankara Kaur Dam)과 발루치스탄(Balochistan)주의 담수시설에서 물을 취수한다.

시설은 턴키(turnkey) 방식 하에 민간 투자자에게 매수될 것으로 예상된다.

Pakistan grants approval for SWRO plant in Gwadar

Pakistan has approved plans for a five million gallons a day (189,000 m3/d) seawater reverse osmosis plant in Gwadar, a port city in the southwest, reports Express Tribune.

Pakistan's Central Development Working Party cleared the way for project, having earlier asked a committee led by Planning Commission of Pakistan member, Malik Ahmad Khan, to examine feasibility.

The project's estimated cost of PKR 5,071 million ($48.4 million) is expected to be 90 per cent met by China, since Gwadar is a key location on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The five million plant will supply about a third of water demand in Gwadar, particularly meeting the needs of the city's industrial zone. The city also takes water from Ankara Kaur Dam, and from a desalination plant in Balochistan.

The plant is likely to be sold to a private investor on a turnkey basis.

The announcement was part of a package of seven projects approved by CDWP worth a total of PKR 36 billion ($343 million), including five health sector projects, and an energy project.
