Backgroud
- In recent years the Gulf countries have been actively making
investments in infrastructure with the help of rising crude oil prices.
- In particular, there is a number of plans to build
seawater desalination plants for securing drinking water supplies.
- The water temperature of Arabin Gulf is 35 degree celcius or higher
and the seawater has a high salt content of 5 %. For these reasons
desalination in the region has been produced primarily with
evaporation process which require huge energy use.
- Adoption of RO membrane plants have been limited because of
the perception that RO is a difficult process to run.
- Toray has record in the supply of RO membrane to plants
in Arabin Gulfs countries including
* Bahrain
* Kuwait and
* Saudi Arabia
- Toray's outstanding track record in harsh salt water paved
the ways to win these orders.
- With these two orders, Toray will be supplying its membranes to
desalination plants in UAE for
a total capacity of 480,000 cubic meters of water per day.
- The plant under FEWA (the four emirates in the North region)
will account for 245,000 cubic meters of water per day of the total.
- The construction of the two new plants is expected to
stimulate the adoption of RO desalination methods in
the Arabian Gulf region by
leveraging cutting-edge membrane technology

Global RO membrane market
- The global RO membrane market has been expanding fueled by
1. worsening global water shortages and
2. the need for conservation of water resources in response to
environmental considerations
- In addition to existing applications, including
1.drinking water and
2.pure water for industrial use from sea water and brine desalination,
Membranes are now being used to
3.reclaim water from urban sewage and industrial wastewater
- The demand for membrane is likely to keep growing steadily,
primarily in the regions including
* North America,
* The Middle East,
* North Africa and
* China
While the demand in emerging countries including
* India and
* those in Latin America
is also expected to expand

Toray and RO membranes for seawater desalination
- Toray has supplied RO membranes to plants which making
more than 25.7 million cubic meters of water per days.
- This equals enough water for domestic use for
more than 1 million people (about 1.5 % of the world population)
- The RO membranes Toray has supplied for seawater desalination
cumulatively produce more than 6 million cubic meters per day,
- Giving Toray the biggest market share in this field
- Toray has begun the research on RO membranes in 1968, and now
produces a full line of RO,
1.Nanofiltration (NF) membranes
2.Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes
3.Microfiltration (MF) membranes
with its own technology
- Toray will continue to actively pursue orders in the
growing global market by leveraging its world class water treatment
expertise based on the core technology of
* synthetic organic chemistry,
* polymer chemistry,
* biotechnology and
* nanotechnology
