Muscat: Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) will open the Rima water treatment plant built at a cost of RO87 million.

The opening ceremony will be held in the presence of the Governor of Dhofar on February 1.

The Rima water treatment plant offers an environmentally friendly alternative to the disposal of water associated with oil extraction and will reduce gas emissions by 48,000 tonnes annually.

It can be used for vegetation to create a desert oasis for wildlife.

Rima water treatment plant will be capable of treating about 60,000 cubic meters per day of water associated with oil production operations, which is higher than the project's design capacity of 40,000 cubic meters per day, thereby reducing energy consumption by 10 gigawatts.
