Construction in Abu Dhabi of the Multi Stage Flash desalination evaporator from Doosan Vina began in March and was completed in just eight months.

Mr BJ Cho, CEO & general director of Doosan Vina said: “Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink! Why on earth would anyone say that? Our planet is nearly 75% covered by water yet potable water is becoming scarcer everyday. This desalination evaporator will be the first of many, a family of evaporators produced in Vietnam that will be working to improve the quality of life for thirsty people all over the world. We are proud to be able to play a role in solving one of our planets most troubling problems - the availability of clean, safe and fresh water for all.”
