The plant was commissioned in October 2005. Later Petrorabigh has taken over the refinery and a novation agreement has been entered by
MUWDC with Aramco and Petrorabigh
The desalination plant was designed to produce 6,000 cm/d of potable water and 4,000 cm/d of process water using multi-effect distillation
(MED) technology provided by Aquatech, which also acts as the O&M partner to SETE
The cost of the project was SR 68mn financed by equity, shareholders subordinated debt 35% and bank loans 65%
The bank loan was supported by an assignment of Aramco payments. The Bank Loan interest was fixed for 10 years at 5.56% p.a. The
shareholders' loan was priced at 6.5% p.a.
Due to delay in uplifting the water by Aramco until October 2005, the project had a limited cash flow which was funded by delaying some
installments of the sub-ordinated loans. MUWDC has entered back-to-back contracts in such a way that performance risk is passed through
to EPC & OM contractors
