ALGERIA: $3 million to expand Beni Saf desalination plant capacity

The capacity of the Beni Saf desalination plant will soon be increased. Funds have already been allocated to this project. José Minguillon Fouteza, CEO of Beni Saf Water Company, talks about a $3 million envelope. The aim is to increase the installation’s capacity by 20,000 m3 of water per day. The project is expected to start by September 2019 for a period of nine months.

The goal, according to José Minguillon Fouteza, is to “reduce the technical shutdown problem and maintain production at 200,000 m3/day year-round”. The desalination plant is owned by Beni Saf Water Company, a majority-owned business of the Spanish group Cobra.
